hi...
I'm sorry for the delay in the reply, I was on vacations during easter,
and didn't had a chance to work on this.

ok, I tested that, and gtar says that 26MB were written, which is the
size of the whole '/boot' folder content.
so any idea how to further troubleshoot this...
I have an open ticket at the vmware support, and they claim it's in the
way that amanda calls gtar and try to close the case as soon as
possible...
I'm not sure if they are right, so any help on troubleshooting this
problem quickly is appreciated.
Thanks,
Olli
