Debian package 2.5.1p1-2.1 At home I leave the tape out of the drive most of the time and only insert a tape and run amflush when the space used on the holding disk approaches the capacity of my tape. This has been working well until the latest upgrade (which overwrote the patched version I had manually built to overcome the failures due to tar 1.16 return status of 1 for changed files causing dumps to fail). Anyway, now amflush reports *** THE DUMPS DID NOT FINISH PROPERLY! even though everything was successfully flushed to tape according to the dump summary. I'm guessing that error message was triggered by the WARNING in the NOTES section: driver: WARNING: This is not the first amdump run today. Enable the usetimestamps option in the configuration file if you want to run amdump more than once per calendar day.
I didn't run amdump more than once. It ran early this morning to do the backups, and then I ran amflush this afternoon. Does amflush count as an amdump run? Frank -- Frank Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sr. Systems Administrator Voice: 512-374-4673 Hoover's Online Fax: 512-374-4501
