I believe you have a problem with the filesystem that holds /var. Is it full? Or is it corrupt? ... Gnutar creates a file in the directory /var/lib/amanda/gnutar-lists for its listed-incremental feat

You need to use a more recent Amanda, which can handle the new incremental format used by tar 1.15. Apart from this, there are other bugs in tar 1.15 (at least the Debian version ignores --one-file-s

In my case, no. The two offending file systems in my case are /var itself, which is on /, and /home. In /home's case, the available space in /var is greater than the total space used in /home. -- Cha

In my case, no. Fedora Core 5 comes with tar-1.15.1-12.2.i386.rpm, dated Mar 6 2006. But as I said earlier, I did recently upgrade to tar-1.15.1-15.FC5. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Lo

How about just deleting the offending files? Would amanda/tar then build new ones, which would be compatible with the tar 1.15 file format? Wonderful. Meanwhile, the Fedora powers that be have decide

--received from Nick Pierpoint-- What's the effect of removing these files? Wouldn't it essentially cause everything on that partition to be backed up again even though it is an incremental backup?
