Hi,

After having set up many differents clients (linux, openbsd, windows, freebsd), 
I'm trying to set up an
AIX 4.3 box.

In my disklist, I put that line :

estrella /dev/hd3 always-full

But amdump sends me that in a mail :

estrella   /dev/hd3 lev 0 FAILED [missing result for /dev/hd3 in estrella 
response]

I've looked into the client /tmp/amanda/*.log and there seem to be nothing 
anormal in the log files
but there is a core file (is it a core dump ? Is there an error ?)

On the server, the amdump.1 log file just tell that :

SETTING UP FOR ESTIMATES...
planner: time 0.020: setting up estimates for estrella:/dev/hd3
estrella:/dev/hd3 overdue 12273 days for level 0

I don't really know in what other log file to look in, and don't really know 
where does this problem comes from ?

Any idea ?
