There appears to be tracking, I did 'amtape test slot next' all the way around to slot-1 again and everything worked, however all tapes are "new" so amcheck is happy with any tape as indicated by its following the data link without ever searching for the 'next usable tape'. Maybe its late, but it seems we haven't learned anything. Now, if I switch configs look at Dailys, I have a data link to slot-5, left by an experiment earlier today with amtape, but amcheck says it will be using slot-2 in about 3 minutes. Yup, the first dump written went to Dailys-2 according to amstatus. And the 'data' link is still set to slot-5. Call this canary that sings double bass puzzled. Nap time, amanda will do what amanda does. If I've got the wrappers fixed, it will work. And I went to bed w/o sending. My fixes worked. Every thing went into slot2(Dailys-2). And data still points at slot5, -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
