Not an 'amanda_changer' in my old amanda.conf, remember this thing can darned near be exempt from child labor laws. I do have: tpchanger "chg-disk" and I also have: amrecover_changer "chg-disk" set. and can reset the former of course, but why didn't amcheck complain? Unforch it will be a while before I can test it, the disk is unmounted atm as smartctl says there were some 79 errors, so an 'e2fsck -c /dev/sdb' is running on it now. But its reading about 70M/sec so it should be done in an hour or so. About 40% now. >The new Changer API should clear up this ugly hack, by the way. What else do I need to change in my amanda.conf before it bites me again? Humm, put that in my amanda.conf, but running the 2.6.1alpha-2081114 version, amgetconf says this: amgetconf Daily amanda_changer is a huge syntax error, and the man page doesn't mention this at all. Building the 1119 version now, but I see no mention in the ChangeLog either. Please clarify. >Dustin Thanks Dustin. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
