I just moved my tape drive from one machine to another and I upgraded from 2.4.1p2 to 2.4.2p2 at the same time. I moved my configuration files over and all of the logs and curinfo files and the indexes (indices?).
When I look at my holding disk, ./bkup, I see: truk!backup 110# ls -l /bkup total 20 drwx------ 2 backup backup 4096 Oct 18 06:30 20011017 drwx------ 2 backup backup 4096 Oct 21 06:31 20011020 drwx------ 2 backup backup 4096 Oct 21 18:30 20011021 drwx------ 2 backup backup 4096 Oct 24 09:36 20011023 drwxr-xr-x 2 backup backup 4096 May 11 12:50 lost+found truk!backup 111# But when I run amflush (as user backup, of course), I get: truk!backup 111# amflush daily Scanning /bkup... : skipping cruft directory, perhaps you should delete it. : skipping cruft directory, perhaps you should delete it. : skipping cruft directory, perhaps you should delete it. : skipping cruft directory, perhaps you should delete it. : skipping cruft directory, perhaps you should delete it. : skipping cruft directory, perhaps you should delete it. : skipping cruft directory, perhaps you should delete it.
