Hi,
i guess you are trying to use dump for these filesystems, aren't you?
this will simply not work.
dump is a tool exclusively designed for ext2,
you are very lucky if it works for ext3.
switch over to use tar, and all should be ok.

Hi,
I've setup a new workstation to be integrated in daily backup cycles.

amcheck doesn't show any problems. Access is granted. But when it comes to amdump the following error message turns up in report file:

FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:

Is reiserfs the problem? The amanda version installed on the backup server is amanda-2.4.1p1-29. On a different machine I'm running ext3 which is backed up properly on the same backup server.

Thanks!
