Work-around ----------- Looking in google I didn't see anything amanda specific but did find articles talking about the zfs file system.
The client DLE is UFS, the work area I restored to is ZFS. I copied one of the smaller dmp files over to /tmp which is UFS and was able to read it fine. I am now # cd'd to tmp but reading the dump file from the ZFS file system. Seems to be working. I don't have complete understanding though as the dumps that had been written to the LTO5 where for the same UFS client DLE and used the same ZFS work area... I seem to be up and running but don't understand the underlying mechanics. The problem has been worked around, but I don't understand what is happening. Do any of you ?
