Dear AMANDA users, I am referring to the "vfat estimates" problem that I had almost two years ago. It has to do with getting the estimates right on a vfat filesystem. I had quite a few discussions on this at that time, see
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/amanda-users/message/26231 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/amanda-users/message/25658 to mention just two. I tried a suggestion from Alexandre, it worked and I reported it to the list. Still, I didn't find the time to write down the details of it, so that others could benefit from my solution. It was not until recently that I was able to fulfill my promise. The document describing all the details of the solution to the above "vfat estimates" problem can be found in my homepage in http://www.karakas-online.de/myAMANDA/t1.html I will be very glad to receive your feedback on this. I have made every possible effort to follow the style and spirit of the Linux Documentation Project in producing this document, which can be found in various formats in the address given. It is referring to an older AMANDA version though (2.4.1p1). Enjoy! -- Regards Chris Karakas http://www.karakas-online.de
