Okay - well I'm getting conflicting messages here. I had previously been using /dev/nst0 to access the tape drive. That wasn't working, so someone here told me I should use the sg* nodes to access the drive. So that's when I switched to /dev/sg2. I changed the dev entry in chg-scsi.conf back to /dev/nst0 and this is what I'm still getting: [EMAIL PROTECTED] LPD $ amcheck LPD Amanda Tape Server Host Check ----------------------------- Holding disk /dumps/amanda: 36514756 KB disk space available, that's plenty amcheck-server: could not get changer info: could not read result from "/usr/libexec/chg-scsi" -Erik
