I'm running AMANDA 2.4.2; one of my clients is a workstation using
XFS. I've been happily backing it up for several months. However,
there's now a quite large file on the partition which will easily fill
our backup tapes.
Checking the xfsdump manpage, I see that the -e option to xfsdump will
cause it to skip files with the SGI_XFSDUMP_SKIP_FILE attribute[1].
Having solved dump's problem, I need to modify rundump (I think) to
pass -e to xfsdump. I'm guessing this means making changes to the
AMANDA sources, which I'm perfectly happy to do, but it isn't easy to
find where to make the change.
Little help?

[1] : For other XFS newbies, there's a brief section further down that
explains how to set this attribute on a given file.
