selfcheck: time 0.010: amdevice "/data" OK
selfcheck: time 0.010: device "/data" OK
selfcheck: time 0.011: checking disk /etc

so what could be causing the selfcheck to fail checking /etc... any ideas?

What is the dumpprogram used for /etc? Output of:

  $ amadmin config disklist hermes.deanst.rroom.net /etc

There is also a amandad.*.debug program with the "selfcheck" request.
Can you post that too?
