Hi,

I have a nagging problem with a client machine running 2.5.1p2,1. Two
of the disk slices are being backed up without any problem but one
continues to fail. The Amanda server is running 2.5.1.p1 and backups
are completing on other hosts without similar problems.

Not sure what's causing this.

I appreciate any help you can offer. 

Thanks
