I am getting the following error from amdump:

FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:
wookie.int /boot lev 0 FAILED [disk /boot offline on wookie.internal.americom.com?]

On wookie, the file sendsize.20020124035422.debug says:

*******************************************************************************

However, when I run dump manually on wookie, it runs with no problem
and:

        /sbin/dump 0Ssf 1048576 - /dev/sda2

displays:

        9334784

I have read the FAQ and the question regarding this issue did not
seem to apply.  The filesystem is very small and I didn't really
understand the rest.

I am in the testing phase and this is the only filesystem I am
attempting to dump in an attempt to isolate the problem.

I am running Red Hat Linux 7.2 and amanda-2.4.2p2 on the client and
host.

Can anyone help?  I can post any files needed to help diagnose the problem.

Thanks,
Dick
