I have my exclude lists on the client systems but I am not sure that they are being used. The total space that gets backed up is about 80MB or so. According to amstatus it is trying to dump 633MB which is roughly half the amount of space on the file system. I'm pretty sure that my exclude lists are correctly working. How can I tell if gtar is using the exclude list? If I do a ps -auxww | grep gtar on the client after I run amdump from the server, I get this:
root 74765 5.6 0.4 4844 4592 ?? D 11:55am 0:39:54 /usr/localbin/gtar --create -file /dev/null --directory /usr --one-file-system --listed-incremental /usr/local/var/amanda/gnutar-lists/smtp0da0s1e_0.new --sparse --ignore-failed-read --totals . Notice there is not --exclude. What did I do wrong? jeff
