If I remember well, You have to edit the source code and have amanda consider it "normal".

Can't recall where exactly in the source code, but there is a list of keywords that amanda is loomnking for in the tar output, that you can edit.

That's the beauty of open source, you can modify the code to suit your needs.

I myself modified amanda reporting so the the day (mon, tue, wed....) is written on my tape labels so they are easier to manage/sort in the vault.

Hi,

I'm running Amanda 2.5.1p3 with tar 1.16.  As I understand, 2.5.1p3
ignores tar 1.16's return code of 1 when it encounters "file changed as
we read it".  I verified that my files are still backed up even when
this happens.  However, is it possible to get Amanda to stop reporting
this as "STRANGE" in the amdump mail reports?

Thanks,
Ray
