Then I found out that I had a NFS partition half-mounted in /mnt; I
say half-mounted because the remote files were there, but the mount
command didn't reported it! I did an umount /mnt followed by a amdump
CFG omni / and all went well.
Which amanda release?
VERSION="Amanda-2.5.2p1"
Which tar release?
tar (GNU tar) 1.16.1
Did you upgraded something on the system?
Yeah. Some packages from slackware and amanda itself.
Thank you all for the provided help,
