I am trying to break up a 60 GB partition into chunks that will fit on 32 GB
(native) AIT-1 tapes.  I am using a Sony AIT i90-a tape drive on a Linux 9
system.  The big partition is on a remote client named "hsadm2".  The
following lines show the output running amcheck on the "hsadm2"
configuration.  The lines from the disklist file are included after the
error messages.

I built the breakup of the /home partition from the example disklist file.
I know that I am running an "older" version and that the latest stable
version is 2.4.4p3.

Can someone please point out the errors in breaking up the /home partition
into several tar files that can be spread across several amanda tapes?

Please excuse the long post.

Thanks,

=======================
Section of /etc/amanda/hsadm2/disklist.  I tried to start "small" with the
/home/test config, but that simple config does not work.


hsadm2 /home/test /home {
        comp-root-tar
        } 1

hsadm2 /home/nobig /home {
        # all directories expcept the following
        comp-root-tar
        exclude "./umsv4"
        exclude "./cvs*"
        exclude "./linux.mry"
        exclude "./shared"
        } 1

(note: the "multiple exclude" error is not corrected by putting all excluded
dirs on one line separated by spaces.)

hsadm2 /home/ums /home {
        comp-root-tar
        include "./umsv4"
        } 1
