Greetings all;

I just went back through my emails from amanda for the last several days, and 
its appears that the device mapper has struck again by using volatile 
numbers.   With 2.6.28-rc2, all the disks are now at a major device number of 
8, where they used to be 254.

/usr/movies, which hasn't had a new entry since August, and it is about 10GB, 
is being skipped because a level 1 is as big as a level 0, when it should be 
maybe 40kilobytes.  And amanda is shuffling the rest of the schedule maddly 
to try and make room for it in a future run.

However to trouble shoot that and confirm the theory, I'm missing one valuable 
piece of info from the report, either mailed or printed.  Sure, I can get it 
from the logs if I read enough of them, but:

We need, as part of the footer where it says "Brought to you by version", the 
uname -r output also, so we can more easily correlate amanda's upset tummy 
with which kernel was running during the backup.

Could this be added?

Thanks.
