Fix the setuid-root errors first, then run amcheck again. You may find that
your permissions problems are gone.

I recently switched amanda servers, and copied a manual chg-multi

There's nothing in your `mt status` that says what tape drive it's talking
to. My guess is that your SCSI devices got renumbered somehow. I think the
nst* devices are issued in the order they're found, and if the device that
was nst0 is gone, nst1 is now nst0.
Aha!

That's correct. Anne, you don't want to use chg-multi if you have a
"real" changer, i.e. one that has mechanics to advance from tape to
tape. chg-multi is intended for sites that have seve

Many thanks to you 5 for your advice !
Each of you advised me to use the tpchanger "chg-zd-mtx" script as tpchanger.
I did it and I can now load or unload (with amtape) without problem the tape
from any slot

Jason,
Which taperscan are you using?
The default 'traditional' read all slots.
Try the 'lexical' or 'oldest'.

I've never used a changer where all slots were not devoted
to amanda. So I ask these from inexperie
I have my changer divided into two separate configurations.
My DAILY config uses slots 1-40. Tape drive 0.
The ARCHIVE config uses slots 41-48. Tape drive 1.
Never the twain shall meet.
Does that answer the question? Yes, amanda listens quite well, and refuses
to obey if I tell it
lly end up with some varient of "could not
rewind tape" or "no tape in drive"
Any hints?
