Interesting, thanks for testing.

Did you get a reply already?

Would be great to know if someone at Betsol is responding to the 
community, and when we see installable packages from them.

That hasn't happened in a mailing list like time frame yet, typically a 
month or so.
That says amanda is nowhere near the front burner at Betsol. As an 
amanda user since
about the late 1998 time frame, I lament the day that the University of 
Maryland sold it

all those years ago.

I haven't restarted it since both 2T drives I'd just installed went tits 
down in the
night about 2 weeks apart last October. I will not stop berating seagate 
for the
cause of that debacle, an experiment in flying heads closer to the disk 
by filling
the drives with helium. In my day, any 8th grader knew you can't keep 
helium,
its small enough it walks thru a monel bottle, losing about 10% of it 
overnight.
The drives both failed when enough air got into the drive to raise the 
flying height

of the heads beyond where they could read or write the disks rust coating.
Here, there are no more spinning rust drives, Samsung SSD's are 5x 
faster. But
/home is now a separate controller with 4 1T Samsung drives in a raid-10 
config.
And I've yet to order 4 more, and another controller for use as amanda 
vtapes.


Waiting for 2T SSD's to become affordable, if they ever do.

Take care & stay well everybody.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.

No, I haven't received any reply... (but also have not received any
bounce message).
