Sorry about including Gavin's posting -- it was a mistake.

The problem occurs both amrecover on the same machine and on a fedora 1 machine 
with amanda-2.4.4p1-1

The pathname I was trying to recover is 91 chars long and includes spaces, but 
only normal chars (i.e. [[:alphanum:]/] in regex)

How would you go about reproducing this?

Hi

amercover segfaults on me when trying to access directories with long names. I managed to find this email:

http://www.mail-archive.com/amanda-users AT amanda DOT org/msg22228.html

and using addx and cdx works for me too.

However this is quite a serious bug. Is anyone aware of this? Is it being addressed ?

Dear all,

Why did you include Gavin's posting which is totally unrelated?


Are you using tar or dump?  I ask because with the discussion of
the recent releases of gnutar I've been looking at the ChangeLog
for the tar project.  There are quite a few notes in there dealing
with problems with long path/file names.  Perhaps the problem is
tar's and not directly amanda's.
