I am occasionally seeing the planner fail with:

         planner: host /var/imap-109 20170515103559 0 “….runtar exited with 
status 1: see /tmp/amanda/client/XXX/sendsize.XXXX.debug”

in some (random) partition.  Is it fair to assume that the reason for the exit 
‘1’ is in the line:

        Mon May 15 12:25:26 2017: thd-0x803221c00: 
                sendsize: /usr/local/bin/gtar: 
./var/spool/imap-109/user/1234.NEW: File removed before we read it

and if so - why is that seen as a ‘fatal’ error — i.e. fatal enough to upset 
the planner ? Any way to suppress it and let the planner do its work ?

The full output of that '/tmp/amanda/client/XXX/sendsize.XXXX.debug’ is below.

With kind regards,

Dw.
