Its presently: ONCE AGAIN !!!! ;-) : I think I have to add this to the tarball to stop you from doing this ;-) GH> ./configure --with-user=amanda \ GH> --with-group=disk \ GH> --with-owner=amanda \ GH> --with-gnu-ld --prefix=/usr/local \ GH> --with-tapedev=FILE:/amandatapes .... GH> Is this anywhere near usable? I don't know. I assume it is ok. Maybe use --with-tapedev="FILE:/amandatapes" Could you try this and tell us? Thanks. Apart from that, AFAIK the configure-options are just defaults, and your amanda.conf-settings override them so you are able to use chg-disk in your conf without recompiling. While I type this, I realize that I even use it that way myself. ;-) -- best regards, Stefan
