I use Amanda to regularly backup over a terabyte of data on XFS partitions, both Linux and SGI, and it works just great out of the box. I do not and have never used xfsdump however. I much prefer GNUtar for Amanda use. You might investigate using that instead. Brandon D. Valentine -- "Iam mens praetrepidans avet vagari." - G. Valerius Catullus, Carmina, XLVI
