I'm running an Amanda server that does backups of some windows boxes
using samba.  This is a Debian machine running Debian-ized versions of
Amanda and Samba.  The actual Debian version of Amanda is 2.4.4p3-2
and the Debian version of Samba is 3.0.14a-1.

Last Friday I upgrade the version of Samba on this machine to the
3.0.14a-1 from 3.0.8-2.  After doing that, I started getting "strange"
messages for every windows share backed up in my nightly amanda reports.
This is a snippet of what I get for every windows share:


FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:
  amanda     //dba/backup lev 1 STRANGE

---SNIP---

/-- amanda     //dba/backup lev 1 STRANGE
sendbackup: start [amanda://dba/backup level 1]
sendbackup: info BACKUP=/usr/bin/smbclient
sendbackup: info RECOVER_CMD=/bin/gzip -dc |/usr/bin/smbclient -f... -
sendbackup: info COMPRESS_SUFFIX=.gz
sendbackup: info end

| tar: dumped 1082 files and directories
| Total bytes written: 3670434304
sendbackup: size 3584409
sendbackup: end
\--------

Now, it appears that the share gets backed up with out problems.  Is
this some flaky samba related issue that I can ignore?  Or is there
something of concern here?

Thanks!
