You're not seeing a problem. You're seeing a normal message. Further in the dump report would be the information about what was considered "strange". Often this will be files that dissappear, or change, during the dump process. For example: ? gtar: ./tmp/sess_09d0452039863a0ebf500561926ea4ec: Warning: Cannot stat: (null) This is a session file that was removed between the point that gtar started and the point when gtar tried to add the file to the archive. I haven't reviewed your script, but you should probably add handling for these STRANGE messages. They don't imply a problem with the dump, but they generally should be reviewe. --- david raistrick [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.expita.com/nomime.html
