| It depends on the errors. When I run amcheck it doesn't complain.

I get "ERROR [Volume check for coda.root failed]" after running amcheck.

In /tmp/amanda, I have some .debug files that show a little of what's
going on.  When amanda gets to the coda filesystems to backup, the
following occurs in the logs:

sendsize.20040224221503.debug (all other non-coda volume info removed)

I suppose amanda might be complaining since it does not appear to be
receiving any size information estimates for the coda volumes?  Also,
our fileserver/coda server is doing the backups.  Is this part of the
problem?  I know I had to "trick" the original backup system to make
backups work on the same server that was also the coda server
(fortunately I had different partitions to which I could backup).

I have updated amanda to the latest CVS changes and will try again with
that version (the version you said you updated CVS to, I think 2.4.4p2?
~ It seems to be building .deb packages as 2.4.4-3.  Is that correct?).

Thanks.
