Hi,

so my amanda setup is coming along pretty nicely... i
added two clients to my setup yesterday though, and
there are some errors that came up in my email... i
don't really understand them:

FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:
  devdb.tons /dev/ida/c0d0p2 lev 0 FAILED [disk
/dev/ida/c0d0p2 offline on
 devdb.tonservices.com?]
  gatorade.t /dev/sda6 lev 0 STRANGE

Ok, the whole /dev/ida/c0d0p2 thing is a word device i
will admit, but it's definitely not offline... not
sure what's going on there... here's the STRANGE
stuff:

FAILED AND STRANGE DUMP DETAILS:

/-- gatorade.t /dev/sda6 lev 0 STRANGE
sendbackup: start [gatorade.tonservices.com:/dev/sda6
level 0]
sendbackup: info BACKUP=/bin/tar
sendbackup: info RECOVER_CMD=/bin/tar -f... -
sendbackup: info end
? gtar:
./ton/spool/doc_send/fax/oldstuff/064106020107:

sendbackup: size 11241460
sendbackup: end

ok, so i guess tar probably has problems w/ sockets?
(that isn't so big of a deal), what is a problem is
that it shouldn't even be backing up anything in /tmp/
or oldstuff (here's my exclude file):

./tmp/*
./proc/*
./dev/*
*oldstuff*
./mnt/*
./opt/naroot/*
./var/tmp/*
./var/www/*
./sys/*

there's another thread on the whole amanda ignoring
excludes going on right now, but it doesn't seem like
any definite conclusion has been reached.  is this a
bug, or do i just have a badly formed exclude file?

Thanks a lot,
Cameron Matheson
