due to permission problems, we've had repeated cases of tar returning error message '2', even tho amanda uses the --ignore-failed-read option (tar 1.3.25). as I understand it, amanda should still accept the backup data that tar got, but it doesn't. it simply ignores the backup.
is there an option I need to turn on at compile time, or is there something I can set somewhere? my searches turned up a mail-list message (which I can't seem to find again), which said 'update to tar 1.3.19 or amanda 2.4.2p2'; but after surpassing both of those things (currently amanda 2.4.3b2 and tar 1.3.25), it's still no luck. :( Carl Soderstrom. -- Network Engineer Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com
