I am currently rewriting my cronjobs to systemd-units and -timers ...
and I do that as well for the daily run of amdump.
Works fine so far.
my question:
It is rather easy to do a mt -f /dev/st0 offl after a successful
amdump, if there is only one tape-device.
I currently use 2 LTO-2 drives with:
tpchanger chg-multi:{/dev/nst0,/dev/nst1}
so it isn't predictable which of the 2 drives gets used in a particular
run of amdump, right?
I don't want to eject both drives every time as the 2nd drive/tape is
needed in the next run ...
Would it make sense to add a property to amanda's tapetypes which
triggers a mt offl after the tape has been written?
This would as well simplify the crontab-entries.
And it would also help with non-cron-triggered amflush-runs (where my
clients get confused as the tape isn't ejected when they receive the
report-mail).
No one interested?
No user, no dev?
Everyone still writing wrappers?
