No.  Amanda checks the fstab for filesystem type, and uses the appropriate 
dump tool for each filesystem (given that it was present when amanda was 
compiled).  So, on Linux, amanda will use xfsdump when appropriate.  The 
problem (we think) is that Dan had tried to use the RPMs, then hadn't 
quite cleaned them out before trying his own version.

Than Linux dump -- yep.  Than xfsdump?  Well, xfsdump may be weird, but 
it's got years of service on IRIX.
