I'm not a Linux guy, but this is the one where Linux does not have
a conventional entry for "/" in /etc/fstab, right?

So if you're using tar, amanda cannot do the reverse-lookup from
device name to mount-point (directory path).

Solution is to use directory names in disklist, not device names.
Much easier to read, anyway.

It's probably unfortunate that example/disklist uses device name
syntax, n'est pas?
