I have also been running Amanda for a long time. When I implemented the
proposed work-around, I found I had no definition of amgtar.
Is there a preferred canonical (no wordplay intended) definition,
perhaps from more recent versions of Amanda?
After much digging around on the net, man pages, etc., here is what I
added to my amanda.conf. This may be useful to other folks.
--------------------------------------------------
# from the man page for amgtar
# define application-tool app_amgtar {
# plugin "amgtar"
# property "ATIME-PRESERVE" "NO"
# property "CHECK-DEVICE" "YES"
# # property "GNUTAR-LISTDIR" "/path/to/listdir"
# # property "GNUTAR-PATH" "/bin/tar"
# property "GNUTAR-PATH" "/usr/bin/tar"
# property "ONE-FILE-SYSTEM" "YES"
# property "TAR-BLOCKSIZE" "20"
# property "SPARSE" "YES"
# property "ACLS" "NO"
# property "SELINUX" "NO"
# property "XATTRS" "NO"
# property "EXIT-HANDLING" "1=GOOD 2=BAD"
# # change a default NORMAL regex to a STRANGE regex.
# property "STRANGE" ": socket ignored$"
# # add three new IGNORE regex
# property append "IGNORE" ": Directory has been renamed"
# property append "IGNORE" "file changed as we read it$"
# }
#define application-tool and dumptype for the amgtar application
define application-tool app_amgtar {
comment "amgtar"
plugin "amgtar"
property "GNUTAR-PATH" "/usr/bin/tar"
#property "GNUTAR-LISTDIR" "/path/to/gnutar_list_dir"
#default from gnutar_list_dir setting in amanda-client.conf
}
--------------------------------------------------
A typical dumptype now looks like:
--------------------------------------------------
define dumptype root-tar {
global
# program "GNUTAR"
program "APPLICATION"
application "app_amgtar" # per
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1032330
comment "root partitions dumped with tar"
compress none
priority low
index yes
}
--------------------------------------------------

Does anybody read signatures any more?
