Hi folks,

	Has anyone added built in support to deal with device files under 
these directories instead of /dev/{r,}dsk under HP-UX?  I have run into a
wierd problem.

	In the past I have just created hard links from the /dev/vgxxx
device files into /dev/dsk/{r,}dsk and all was well. 

	Recently, I created a volume group and went with the boring
/dev/vgNN naming scheme, where NN is a number.  Previously I used names
like /dev/vghome, etc.  Now the hard links to the block devices behave
badly under dump.  When I try to dump from the link to the block device, 
e.g. /dev/dsk/home, dump insists on trying to open /dev/dsk/rhome as if 
/dev/dsk were the volume group directory.  

	I never had a problem with this in the past.  Has anyone else 
seen this and come up with a work around?  Can newer versions of Amanda 
deal with disklist entries in different directories?  BTW, I am running 
amanda-2.3.0.

thanks,

	Adrian
