+If you see backups failing with an error like:
+
+ driver: FATAL flush line 1: syntax error (skipping != FLUSH)
+
+The problem may be that some versions of Amanda around 2.5.2 are not
+happy if there are unexpected contents in the holdingdisk you have
+defined on the server. This can occur, for example, if you are using
+the mount point of a separate filesystem that contains a lost+found
+directory. The quick fix is to create a subdirectory in that partition
+for Amanda to use that will have no such unexpected contents. For more
+info on this issue see:
