Sources for replacement tape drive in Sun L9 array

This is a little off-topic but relevant since we're all more or less in the same position in that we're using tape arrays of some sort... The DLT-8000 drive in my L9 has been running slower and slower over the past week, and now is not working at all. I suspect all the rollers, etc. for the

For example, in your rc.conf file you may have: /bin/mt -f /dev/nst0 defcompression 0 /bin/mt -f /dev/nst0 defblksize 0 I think this probably gets too specific. The error could just as easily occur because amanda is upgraded to new binaries which are not compiled for the proper blocksize at

The "DUMPS DID NOT COMPLETE" message comes when no FINISH log message (except planner) is seen. If you compare the logfile in the previous emails to your own, successful logfiles, you'll see that line is missing. The most likely cause is a segfault or other bug in the driver. The task, then, is

This funny port number is coming from the NAT operations in your firewall. There are ways to maneuver Amanda around that, but you might be better served to simply use ssh authentication, if that's an option. Otherwise, you should either set up a static NAT on the firewall or set the Amanda client
