Hi, yesterday i upgraded my amanda-configuration from 2.4.2 to 2.4.3b3. (yes i know 'b' stands for beta) This morning i realised 4 of my 11 partitions failed with "missing estimates from..." which sort of surprised me, as the confiugration woked for years without any problems. After some investigation i found the following: all failing partitions had exclude-list files defined in disklist, but the files either didn't exist, or wer not readable by the amanda-user.
creating/making them readable by the amanda-user solved the "missing estimates" problem. is this behavior intended or is it a bug in amanda-2.4.3b3 ? amanda 2.4.2 just seemed to ignored these files and gave me correct backups. Shouldn't amanda 2.4.3b3 behave the same way? Christoph
