Finally I'm getting back on track after the tar 1.15.91-2 incremental changes.
Due to this issue and my yearly holidays, my backups are long overdue and
Amanda likes to do lots of level 0s (as expected).

I just noticed this in the mail log of last night's backup:

Since /proc is on a separate file system, tar is not supposed to enter that
directory.

Anyone seen that before? I'm using tar 1.15.91-2 and amanda 1:2.5.0p2-1 (+ my
backport of the fixes for tar 1.15.91, cfr.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=378558), on Debian
testing/unstable.

Is this another tar 1.15.91 breakage?

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
