Hi Paul,

I believe, LVM2, or lvm special files has nothing to do with using gnutar to backup. (The other way around: using dump with a non
accessible lvm-special file would be a problem.)

And gnutar actually *does* run with root-priviledges, at least, if
installed correctly (see the suid-root runtar binary).

Or do you have problems with "include" directives in the disklist,
that have indeed problems when not running amanda as root?


There are no include directives in my disklist files. Only in the amanda.conf files, but I can see no problems there. I checked runtar and it indeed runs as root. Well, at least it's got the suid bit set. How do I configure Amanda to use runtar? The configuration has the option "--with-rundump" but I couldn't find anything about runtar. I checked amanda.conf, but no runtar either...

Greetings,

Hans
