Hi all,
I'm having great fun with amanda-2.4.2p1 and a spectra logic bullfrog
ait-2 tape library...
I was just wondering if anyone got the bar code reader stuff working
with a bullfrog?
should I try the 2.5 chg-scsi?
here's some info from the 2.4.2p1 chg-scsi
$ chg-scsi -info

John,
Thank you very much for your help. It is greatly appreciated.
That sounds like a good plan. I will hopefully be able to try it late next
week.
Thanks again.
Jeff

It all fits together with the Amanda server only waiting 45 minutes but

How about we do this "the shell way" and get rid of grep and awk

No. The "length" parameter in your amanda.conf tapetype section controls
what will fit. The "tapetype" utility is just a tool to help figure
out the amanda.conf parameters.

I found that the script was getting confused when I had an amlabel which
was a substring of another amlabel. i.e. "Kiva2" and "Kiva22". When the
script grepped the amlabel out of the labelfile it was matching more than
one line.
My solution is just to use "gre

I wouldn't know. I just remember (from stories posted here) that on

of trouble.

And why is it that you want autoconf 2.13? You don't need it to build
Amanda. You only need it in case you decide to modify configure.in.

I don't think amanda actually throttles backups. That value is just used to

Dear colleagues,

To check if the tape cartridges are in the tape unit, just
before starting the transfer to the tape of the backup files
recorded on the disk, instead of doing this check of the very

This point is very important. You will have to do the equivalent of
exporting to the server with "root" enabled. In Unix this usually is an
option like "root=X" or on Linux "no_root_squash" otherwise you may not
have sufficient priviledges to read the files. It may look like the
backups worked,

Hiya,
Apart from the troubles with 'mtx' mentioned in other message threads,
I've just tried to build the 'stctl' driver and it's complaining about
something to do with the environment variable handling functions in the
code which does syslogging:
