Does amanda use /tmp for anything other than writing the debug files? I ask because it seems to me that the backups themselves may be more important than the debug files it can not write. Rather than controlled clean-up and terminate, perhaps a flag in the debug message writing routines (are they self-contained as a library function) could be used to stop write attempts and let the backups proceed without debug files. -- Jon H.
