Dunno, looking now.  A grep of 3 runs for 'estimate size', 1st is good, last 2 
failed is attached.  At 323, all levels are suddenly level 0 size.

This looks normal:

So I'm not inclined to think lanana has been screwing with device numbers 
recently.  And in the amgtar.debug files (or even in an htop display while its 
running), the '--no-device-check' option is being passed to tar.  Tar is v1.20 
and has been since installing F10.

Me goes off to look up a gizmo called a rhumba box.  I might build one for the 
bro-in-law, who played a standup bass in any musical production being done 
around Ithaca NY before he had a stroke about 5 years ago.  That was his life 
till then.
