Or even hang there, my 240G amanda holding disk was temporarily installed by hanging it on the /dev/sdc cables. And I'm a bit lazy, so about 9 months later its still hanging there. It did solve the problem of bad checksums in the holding disk, which was what I was watching amanda fight with, and which caused amanda to make a second pass at backing up that disklist entry, and leaving the failed one there gradually using up the holding disk space. And worse, it wrote both backups to spinning rust. The last such incident was in feb, so all such confusion has since been overwritten by my 60 tape vtape setup on a 2T spinning rust drive, a seagate of course.
