Jean-Louis,
Thank you, I'm sorry I was unclear. Yes, of course the disklist
needs to be in place when I invoke amcheck on the server.
I'd meant that I need to find out how to up the file limit on
the client, which is a more difficult proposition since its
SMF/INET and not simply something I can script in cron on the
server. The fact that the client and the server are the same
box doesn't help much in this case.
It can help. use the 'local' auth, which is a fork of amandad instead of
connecting to it.
If you increase the limit for amcheck, then that amandad will get the
same limit.

thank you,
Brian

Jean-Louis,
Yes, I did find some information on a run time mechanism to
increase the 256 file limit (file limit stored in unsigned character).
The work-around employes requires the exection of
/usr/lib/extendedFILE.so.1
prior to the binary being executed.
Following up on your maxcheck and Spindle number, I wonder if I
couldn't automatically build an alternate disklist file with
spindle number and swap it in and out. It would have to be done
dynamically (since my disklist changes and making changes in
multiple locations is error prone), but that can be scripted and
called from cron.

finsen /export2 zfs-snapshot2

user-tar2
include "./[A-Z]*"
}

*/
Since this is an amanda-client issue, rather than an amanda server
issue, I need to ask you, how to execute this on the client-side
before attempting to check the DLE list. Is there a way to invoke
this from the amanda daemon?
It must be done on the server before amcheck is executed.
./script-add-spindle < disklist > disklist.spindle
./amcheck CONF -odiskfile=disklist.spindle
