I have both an AIT3 Powerloader and a LTO3 Neo2K working quite well with amanda. I see no reason why the ARCvault shouldn't work as well (although, admittedly, I haven't looked too hard at it)... After looking at the manual, I see that the robotics are on the same SCSI ID as the first drive, but a separate LUN. RH derived distros require an option in /etc/modprobe.conf to get that working. I'm not sure about Debian.
Debian probes LUNs by default.
One note -- a quick look at the ARCvault24 docs doesn't show details on the cabling for a 2 drive setup. To run both LTO3 drives at the same time, they *need* to be on their own SCSI channels. If you can't do that with the 24 and you need that capability, you may need to look at the Neo2K. Good luck. -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University
