It is really best to post to only ONE of the -users or -hackers lists. Decide if it is about the code of amanda, then submit to -hackers. For the overwhelming majority of posts, they concern usage of amanda and should go to -users.

You think there is an order to the tapes, 2 follows 1 etc. Amanda could care less what "new tape" it writes to next. If you put in tape3 next, amanda's order will have 3 following 1 in the future. If you labelstr allows it (tape.*) amanda will happily use tape-gavin next and tape-henry after that. There seems to be no problem (from what I see anyway). > > Could I have messed something up in amcheck.c ??? > That is a separate question with an unknown answer. But it is any mess-up is probably unrelated to this situation. -- Jon H. LaBadie [EMAIL PROTECTED] JG Computing 4455 Province Line Road (609) 252-0159 Princeton, NJ 08540-4322 (609) 683-7220 (fax)
