You don't want to alter the mode of the nodes (chmod), but rather alter the group (via chown). In any case, dump works on vinum devices with the altered group. I'm looking at my fresh amanda tapes sitting on my desk. I spotted it by trying a dump and seeing it work (I happened to be root, not operator). Once that made me realize I did not have a name problem, the symptoms were consistent with an access problem ... and the chgrp fix worked. My workaround is to issue a chgrp command via cron immediately before each amanda run to override any remake of the nodes at boot. Tacky, but it should work until the proper fix goes in. :-) -ahd- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
