Do the same for amandaidx and amandatape. Mine was by default disabled.

Labels for multiple tapes
I have a problem with printed tape labels when using more than one tape per run. I get only one label printed. The text on it says something like: Archive-01, Archive-02 and it runs outside the limits of the label. It seems to be a concatenation of the two tapes. The tape usage prints as 143%. The files are listed as 0 to 14, as if they were written to a single tape. I get the same results with DIN-A4.ps, HP-DAT.ps, EXB-8500.ps, as well as with my modified versions A4.ps, DAT.ps and Exabyte.ps. Am I missing something? I would like it to print one label per tape. Does anyone have a solution to this? -- Ulrik Sandberg

Tape Management
Hello All, I am new to Amanda and seem to be having some difficulty dealing with tape allocation and management. I am running Amanda 2.4.2p2 on Redhat 7.2 using an HP Surestore6000 4mm 120m Dat drive. How do I de-allocate tapes so I can just run some test backups using the same tape? I have two configs defined: DailySet1 and FullBackup I would like to be able to just remove from use a tape named DailySet1001 and make it FullBackup001 Any help is appreciated. Jason

Any ideas on how I can fix this? My C is way rusty
As a side note: I received the following warning during configure. Is this something that I need to be worried about?

Mixed files and sub-dirs in disklist entry
Hi everyone, I have some directories that contain both files and subdirectories, some of which are larger than my tape size (DLT8000: 40Gb). For example: # pwd /home/bart/projXXX # ls total 52k drwxrwxrwx5 bart users4.0k May 16 15:15 calmm5/ drwxrwxrwx 23 bart users4.0k May 16 17:01 MM5/ -rwxrwxrwx1 bart users1.7k Jan 14 16:30 tovis5d.csh* # du -csh * 4.0Gcalmm5 41G MM5 4.0ktovis5d.csh 44G total So I can't add /home/bart/projXXX to the disklist: it's larger than a tape. But if I add /home/bart/projXXX/calmm5 /home/bart/projXXX/MM5 /home/bart/projXXX/tovis5d.csh to the disklist, then (I think) gtar will fail on the last entry, since it's not a directory. Can I have to have a separate version of the call to gtar that does not recurse into the subdirectories? I'm not sure if amanda can have two versions of the call to gtar. Any workarounds you can suggest would be greatly appreciated Bart -- Bart Brashers MFG Inc.

Re: Mixed files and sub-dirs in disklist entry
You can have a disklist entry for projXXX which excludes certain directories. Then each of those directories can have its own disklist entry. Nick

Title: RE: make problem - HP-UX 11i, amanda 2.4.2p2 Hi Eric, I'm using gcc, and I just downloaded the new gcc3.1 from the hp porting site, but I still get the same error. Does gcc come with separate includes? The socket.h that came with the HP includes the header file that defines the types that I'm getting the errors on (sbsize_t, bsize_t, sbsize64_t, and bsize64_t), but for some reason they don't seem to be getting include'd in the compilation.

Unfortunately, the bundled compiler is only (barely) suited to building new kernels on HP-UX (and occasionally bootstraping gcc.) You really need either the ANSI C suite, or gcc, to build amanda.. Amanda uses a lot of ANSI C features, as do the system include files.. (You might get away with making sure that __STDC__ isn't defined during your configure and build, but I doubt it..) If you like, I can put the HP-UX amanda client up for ftp. -- Eric Schnoebelen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cirr.com Any sufficiently advanced bureaucracy is indistinguishable from molasses. -- Unknown

No offense, but how much data did you /want/ to fit on a 12G tape? 12G. There was some confusion happening when the setup was changed from hardware compression to software compression. This problem was what called my attention to it (I didn't set it up).

not an amanda tape
I'm having trouble with labelling my tape on a Seagate STT2A (using
Travan 20GB tapes). Example below. Have tried /dev/nht0 as per FAQ with
same results.
My OS is RedHat 7.2 and RPM's installed are: amanda-server-2.4.2p2-4,
amanda-devel-2.4.2p2-4, amanda-2.4.2p2-4, amanda-client-2.4.2p2-4
What am I missing?
Have set my tapetpye in /etc/amanda/iogta/amanda.conf to;
runtapes 1 # number of tapes to be used in a single run of
amdump
tapedev /dev/ht0 # the no-rewind tape device to be used
tapetype STT2A # what kind of tape it is (see tapetypes
below)
labelstr ^Tape[0-9][0-9]*$# label constraint regex: all tapes must
match
define tapetype STT2A {
comment just produced by tapetype program
length 9500 mbytes
filemark 103 kbytes
speed 914 kbytes
}
$ /usr/sbin/amlabel iogta Tape1
rewinding, reading label, not an amanda tape

amlabel: no label found, are you sure /dev/nht0 is non-rewinding?
