Ok, my amanda set up is coming along... amanda will now back up my computer (i've only configured this one client for testing purposes), but there are still some things that i don't understand. here's the output from amcheck.log:
Amanda Tape Server Host Check ----------------------------- Holding disk /var/tmp: 13625172 KB disk space available, using 12576596 KB amcheck-server: slot 2: date 20050526 label DailySet1000 (active tape) amcheck-server: slot 3: date 20050526 label DailySet1000 (active tape) amcheck-server: slot 4: chg-multi: slot is empty amcheck-server: slot 5: date 20050526 label DailySet1000 (active tape) amcheck-server: slot 6: date 20050526 label DailySet1000 (active tape) amcheck-server: slot 7: date 20050526 label DailySet1000 (active tape) ,,, amcheck-server: slot 1: date 20050526 label DailySet1000 (active tape) ERROR: new tape not found in rack (expecting a new tape) Out of the 30 slots i have in my tape-changer, i only have 17 loaded... but amanda sees DailySet1000 in all 30 slots... why is that? also, this isn't totally related to amanda, but i'm still trying to learn this whole tape-drive thing... my tape-changer has two tape drives in it, nts0 and nts1. i can do everything w/ nts0, but if i try to do anything w/ nts1 (mt -f /dev/nts1 tell, for example), i get an i/o error. any clues? thanks guys, Cameron Matheson __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
