Greetings Amanda users!
I subscribed yesterday, so please flame me if
I´m too impatient... ;)
Is somebody on the list experienced in
Linux + Amanda + LTO Ultrium tape drives?
Searched the FAQ-o-matic and the tape list and the internet,
didn´t find anything about LTO...
I hope I´m not the first

I get a strange error from amcheck on the non system disks on this
specific machine:
ERROR: myserver.mydomain.com: [can not access /disc2 (/disc2): No such
file or directory]
ERROR: myserver.mydomain.com: [can not access /disc1 (/disc1): No such

OK, I'm getting closer. The reason that it keeps asking for a tape in the
same slot is because it doesn't know what slot it's on. The message:
-> loaded <>
Should really have a slot number in the <>, but doesn't. The variable $used
in chg-manual is empty for unk

This says that /disk1 is a directory and not a disk.

Hi,
Anybody got a tapetype spec for an Exabyte Mammoth tape (not Mammoth-2) that
they would kindly share? How about some heuristics for a "good guess" at
parameters? Running the tapetype program seems to take hours, even days.
thanks,
Carey

Maybe you want to dump during five days

Thanks for the Fast reply you rock!
Is this the only way to do it you think? I was hoping I could use the tapes
and just append to the last backup taken (somehow??). I would prefer not to
use the holding disk if possible.
If I did backup five days to the holding disk and then flushed the data t

Hi,
could anyone give me a hint what options I do have to use when compiling
with a database format other than 'text'?
I always ended up with errors. My latest try was like this:
./configure --with-db=gdbm
which resulted in
checking for db.h... yes

I changed vfstab and remounted the discs, still no go.

Hi,
The three parameters you need can be easily obtained or estimated.
For no hardware compression:-
length 2 mbytes # Raw length using 170m AME tape
# (use up to 4 mbytes with hw compression)
filemark 95 kbytes # From the Mammoth spec document
Much appreciated, Ross. I didn't realize that the length should be the
'actual' length, when using s/w compression, but that makes sense, when I
think about it.

By design Amanda will not append to a tape.
