I'm running amanda 3.3.9 with vtapes and trying to enable writing to
multiple volumes with:
taper-parallel-write 2
Sometimes, but not always, I'll get an error like this during the dump:
dump to tape failed: taper: Slot 5, containing 'daily-5', is already in
use by drive '/amandatapes/vtapes/daily/drive1'
I have a filesystem: /amandatapes mounted for vtapes and amanda.conf
contains:
taper-parallel-write 2
tpchanger "chg-disk:/amandatapes/vtapes/daily"
changerfile "/usr/local/amanda/etc/daily/chg-disk-status" #
maxdumpsize -1
tapetype vtape
labelstr "^daily-[0-9][0-9]*$"
amrecover_changer "chg-disk"
define tapetype vtape {
length 307000 mbytes
}
Looking around I found only one reference to it in the Zamanda community
forums from November 10, 2011 but there was no resolution. Anyone know
what might be causing this? Do I have something configured improperly?
