Hi,
do i read it correct, that all filesystems failing are > 2GB in size?
if yes, what os?
is it possible it has a 2GB file-size-limit?

I posted a question about starting to use the file: device and having
problems backing up some filesystems, including all those over 2GB in size.
As I was starting to do some more tests I realised that I may have some more
pertinent information. I have amanda-2.4.3b4 installed only on the server
which is using the file: driver. On the other server and all the clients I
have amanda-2.4.2p2. Is there any likeliehood that this mixing and matching
may be part of my problem ? I thought that to test the file: driver I'd only
need to upgrade the server to 2.4.3b4 (because the clients are still doing
the same thing i.e. producing a compressed tar file on stdout) but perhaps
I'm completely wrong there ?




Kindest regards,
