no, the dump used 2 vtapes, vtape-1 and vtape-2, and there is only one `drive'. I did 2 run with amrecover just to convince me that it really asked for vtape-2 *before* vtape-1. Since I have `amrecover_changer' set I just hit return to see what would happen and vtape-1 got loaded first. > > It's amidxtaped which is manipulating the tapes, so you'll want to > look in its debug log to see what's really going on. Somehow I overlooked this debug file. Here is it.
