The next time fedora/udev, or the kernel, decides to re-enumerate the disks in this system is when I can say for sure. If it goes by without driving tar out of its mind when instructed to check level 1, 2, 3 or even 4 for backup levels, that will be good. However, I just recently had a situation where all 4 of the levels it normally checks the estimates of when planning this backup session, were all reported to be the same size as a level 0. There is no way in tuncket that 95GB of data is gonna fit on a 20GB tape & the only thing I can do is fire off a script that runs as many as 8 backups in a row each time I run it, just to get caught back up. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
