Hi, I've got the following error when I run amrecover:
--------- amrecover> add dumpdates Added /etc/dumpdates amrecover> extract Extracting files using tape drive 0 on host typha.nmsu.edu. The following tapes are needed: Biology-1 Restoring files into directory /home/cngo Continue [?/Y/n]? y Extracting files using tape drive 0 on host typha.nmsu.edu. Load tape Biology-1 now Continue [?/Y/n/s/t]? y EOF, check amidxtaped.<timestamp>.debug file on typha.nmsu.edu. amrecover: short block 0 bytes UNKNOWN file amrecover: Can't read file header extract_list - child returned non-zero status: 1 Continue [?/Y/n/r]? y amrecover> ------------ That error disappears if I comment out the 'tapedev "0" 'in my amanda.conf file -----amanda.conf-- tpchanger "chg-scsi" # the tape-changer glue script tapedev "0" changerfile "/usr/pkg/etc/amanda/backup/chg-scsi.conf" ------- However if I do that, amcheck generates the following error: ----------- % amcheck backup Amanda Tape Server Host Check ----------------------------- Holding disk /data/amanda: 24318770 KB disk space available, that's plenty amcheck-server: could not get changer info: check your config and use a config file for chg-scsi Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check -------------------------------- Client check: 1 host checked in 0.060 seconds, 0 problems found (brought to you by Amanda 2.4.4p2) --------------- if I change 'tapedev "0" ' to 'tapedev "enrst0"' for example, amrecover works well but amcheck still gives that error message. As I understand from amanda documents, the value of tapedev is the configuration to use, so it should be a number between 0 and 9. I don't think it's good idea to set 'tapedev "0"' when running amdump and comment it out when running amrecover. I would appreciate it very much if anyone could advise me how to resolve that problem. Thank you very much, Co
