Humm, setting that option disclosed 2 things, 1 of them a buglet IMO. 1. It now looks for /var/amanda/amandates, and of course doesn't find it, so I had to become root on all 3 of the other machines, and ln -s /etc/amandates /var/amanda/amandates, and 2. On one of them I even had to create the /var/amanda directory! So why should adding an 'estimate calcsize\n' line to my global dumptype change where it looks for amandates, the one in /etc had been making it happy for years? So now amcheck is happy, and a real backup is running. Damn I'd like to find this, bit me on the 3rd day of uptime & the rest of this machine is running nominally.
