You can set DEV_PREFIX and RDEV_PREFIX before configuration. DEV_PREFIX=/dev/md/dsk/ RDEV_PREFIX=/dev/md/rdsk/ ./configure .... But then you will have to use the full pathname for disk in /dev/dsk It could be possible to patch amanda to check in /dev/dsk and /dev/md/dsk but you will not know if amanda backup /dev/dsk/d14 or /dev/md/dsk/d14 > As I said, this is really just a nuisance.
