This is similar to the -h flag for dump on Linux. Look at how dump-honor-nodump in configure.in for is handled and add something similar. Then find the XFSDUMP code in client-src/sendbackup-dump.c and add a couple of lines to insert "-e" if HAVE_HONOR_SGI_XFSDUMP_SKIP_FILE (or whatever you call it) is defined. >Having solved dump's problem, I need to modify rundump (I think) to >pass -e to xfsdump. ... Not rundump. Rundump is only used on systems that have to run dump as root. Is your system using rundump (you'd find debug files in /tmp/amanda and the sendbackup*debug file would indicate rundump was being used)? Also, USE_RUNDUMP would be defined in config/config.h and show up in amandad*debug. An alternative to making any code changes would be to build your Amanda with the XFSDUMP environment variable set to point to a script that runs xfsdump with all the args it gets plus -e. But in the long run, it would be nice to have the -e support. >jason John R. Jackson, Technical Software Specialist, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
