RE: Dump not running
I will give chg-manual a go.. however here are the system details. Tape Drive - Sony DDS TLS-S9000 ( it has an auto changer built in, which uses an 8 tape holder stacker type layout ) OS - Redhat Linux 6.2 Amanda Version - Amanda-2.4.1p1 If you would like any more information I should be able to provide it... but as I said I'll give the manual changer a try too.

It looks kind of like it's trying to talk to a non-existent changer. If you provide more information about your hardware (drive type, changer type) and software (OS and AMANDA Version), that would help too. -Original Message- From: Nathan Bird [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 15, 2001 10:18 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Dump not running Hi, Whenever I run 'amcheck' I get [root@paperbark sbin]# ./amcheck hlink-data2 Amanda Tape Server Host Check - /usr/local/amanda/dumps: 1900471 KB disk space available, that's plenty. amcheck-server: slot 8: date 20010112 label hlink-data12 (first labelstr match) NOTE: skipping tape-writable test.

Strange Error Message
Hi, Whenever I try and run, anything like amverify, amcheck etc... i get the following message [root@paperbark sbin]# ./amtape hlink-data2 show amtape: could not get changer info: prefix=/usr/local/ [root@paperbark sbin]# ./amtape hlink-data2 current amtape: could not get changer info: prefix=/usr/local/ This has only just started, I never used to get this 'prefix' message, and it really has me stumped. The only things that I have changed are the chg-multi.conf file and amanda.conf to try and get them working, now I end up with this. I have doubled checked to make sure that the scsi and tape device are installed and working and using mt -f load or offline I can control the tape drive. Has anybody got any ideas as I have no idea :) Thanks in advance Nathan

RE: AMDump Reporting Results Missing
Thanks again for your respones... here are the answers to your questions. What happens when you run amcheck now that you've fixed disklist? Amanda Tape Server Host Check - /usr/local/amanda/dumps: 2410172 KB disk space available, that's plenty. NOTE: skipping tape-writable test. Tape DailySet101 label ok. Server check took 26.914 seconds. Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check Client check: 1 host checked in 0.106 seconds, 0 problems found. (brought to you by Amanda 2.4.1p1) What is in /tmp/amanda/sendsize*debug on paperbark after a failed amdump? sendsize: debug 1 pid 31909 ruid 0 euid 0 start time Wed Nov 8 08:30:17 2000 /usr/local/amanda/libexec/sendsize: version 2.4.1p1 --- back to the line "paperbark /home lev 0 FAILED [missing result for /home in paperbark response]" does the lev 0 mean anything? It probably doesn't but I am fishing for ideas as to why this is not working. :) Nathan
AMDump Reporting Results Missing
Hi, I am running Redhat Linux 7.0, and have just installed Amanda. I run amcheck with no reports of errors, however when I attempt to run amdump, i get the following messages. paperbark /dev/nst0 lev 0 FAILED [ missing result for /dev/nst0 in paperbark response ] Has anyone seen this message before and if they have, does anyone know a way around it? Awaiting many helpfull responses :) Nathan
