Hello,
I am trying to get the amanda client running under cygwin on win2k.
amcheck doesn't like spaces in the directory in disklist. I am trying to
do something like
win2kpc /cgydrive/c/Documents and Settings srv-comp-user-tar
There does not seem to be any way to escape the spaces. Glancing at the
source, it looks like the macro in skip_non_whitespace in
common/amanda.h needs to be a bit smarter to know about quoted or
escaped strings. Any other work-arrounds for this?
I think it is not allowed.
Does cygwin have a command "link" or maybe "lndir". Not the normal "ln".
If it is the same as the one on Solaris and HP-UX it can make links to
directories. However, for consistancy the two links should be in the
same directory. You could then do a
link '/c/Documents and Settings' /c/DocsAndSettings
and backup the new name.
Jon.
ln -s '/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings' /cygdrive/c/DocsAndSettings
did the trick. Recovery works fine as well. Now all I have to do is
figure out some permission problems with some NTUSER.DAT and related
files, and I'll be all set.
