The /dev/hda6 mountpoint is / I have added the mount point to the disklist file . The dumptype was set to tar and then dump. amcheck detected no errors on the client host. When amdump was run , a level 0 dump was done on /dev/hda6 ( as seen in /etc/dumpdates).
So, you mean, you have a configuration that works?
If I put back hda6 in the disklist, amcheck gives me the same error reported below. Why can't /dev/hda6 be backed up ??? A manual dump of the latter on the client works.
If you specify a diskdevice instead of a mount point, and you are using gnutar to backup, than amanda has to convert the diskdevice into a directory mount point. The way to do this is very system specific, and on Linux it uses (maybe?) /proc/mounts to do the conversion. See the twisty maze of passages, all alike, in client-srv/getfsent.c.
Where is the disk mounted according to "cat /proc/mounts"? My / is mounted on /dev/root, and indeed, /dev/root does not even exist!? (Maybe we found a bug in the implementation in getfsent.c, but with an easy workaround.)
As I already said, if you are using gnutar, (and even if you use DUMP), personally, I find it easier to specify the directory mount points instead of the disk devices, like:
osama.dom.ain / always-full osama.dom.ain /boot always-full osama.dom.ain /usr always-full osama.dom.ain /var always-full osama.dom.ain /home always-full
