Hmm. That's what I thought, finding subsequent chunks might not be
working correctly then for whatever reason, but I'll have to search for
the e-mail from the person who was having the problem.
Yes, the absolute pathname of the nextchunk is found in the header
of each holdingdisk file.
That is needed, befause amanda can spread chunks over different
holdingdisks. But holdingdisk is meant as a temporary staging area
not as the ultimate format. The virtual tapes are meant for that.
That means indeed that you cannot easily move holdingdisk files around
e.g. burn them on CD etc. For easy restoring you need to put them
on the exact location as where they were created.
Otherwise, you'll have to fall back to little programs with
"dd bs=32k skip=1 ..." etc.
