I am not much in favor of an option to disable these messages -- possibly we could put them into a separate message class, but this is getting to be a bit overkill, and previous user comments on this list were not too favorable to that idea. I have modified the messages to include the directory from which the filesystem change is not permitted, which gives the user a bit more information about what is going on. I think the simplest and best solution is to suppress these messages as I wrote above if they are in fact backed up somewhere else in the backup. This will ensure that the messages are printed only if there is a danger that the user is missing a partition, but it will also require someone to write some code (well, any solution will). If it bothers you enough and you would like it fixed, you might try coming up with this kind of code. > > -- > Jo Rhett > senior geek > Silicon Valley Colocation > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Using Tomcat but need to do more?
