hi, what about giving the changer-script a bit more time to complete the move from tape 6 to tape 1? if you use chg-scsi to control the changer, this is our chg-scsi.conf
number_configs 1 eject 1 sleep 20 cleanmax 30 changerdev /dev/sg2 config 0 drivenum 0 dev /dev/nst0 startuse 0 enduse 5 statfile /etc/amanda/tape-slot cleancart 5 cleanfile /etc/amanda/tape-clean usagecount /etc/amanda/backup/totaltime and with it works rock-solid since month now. hope it helps Christoph Ross George schrieb: > > Hi all, > I am using amanda with an HP Surestore 24x6 DDS-3 autoloader.
