Hi,

Interesting thought, but everything is contained under the "/" partition.
No nfs mounts. One other item of possible interest is that there seems to
be more log files than there should be in /var/log/amanda for a particular
failed instance. The only entry in the disklist file for this node is

node1  /               comp-root-tar

but a directory listing of log files shows:

amandad.20051018004609000.debug
amandad.20051018004609.debug
runtar.20051018004609.debug
runtar.20051018004801.debug
sendsize.20051018004609.debug
sendsize._.20051018004609.exclude
sendsize._.20051018004801.exclude

Amanda is invoked in xinetd with the following:

service amanda
{
        disable = no
        socket_type             = dgram
        protocol                = udp
        wait                    = yes
        user                    = amanda
        group                   = disk
        server                  = /usr/lib/amanda/amandad
}

Thanks
