Hi Joshua:

I tried to recompile amanda client to support xfsdump...and followed
the four steps you mentioned below...for some reason, it still can not
backup xfs volume on that client...so, I am wondering that something
must be wrong when I was doing the recompiling...

Could you please give me a little more specific instructions about
this?  I really appreciate your help.

Thanks a lot,

Zhen Liu

  Third, are your XFS partitions in the

Fourth, make sure you're trying to use xfsdump on entire
