I'm running 3.3.6 (but could easily upgrade if it would help). For a
long time I've been wondering about amanda's behaves when I have a
tapecycle larger than the number of tapes in my barcode-supporting
library and all of the tapes in the library have been recently written.

Yes:

O. OK, next answer might have to be from an expert.
I’m guessing that amanda thinks “well, maybe he already DID put another tape
in a slot somewhere, and I just have to go look for it”.
I *would* think it would scan the barcodes first, though.
I DO think you can control-C an amcheck j

Jason,
Which taperscan are you using?
The default 'traditional' read all slots.
Try the 'lexical' or 'oldest'.

around since, well, a very long time ago, and it didn't have a taperscan
definition.

I've never used a changer where all slots were not devoted

I have my changer divided into two separate configurations.
My DAILY config uses slots 1-40. Tape drive 0.
The ARCHIVE config uses slots 41-48. Tape drive 1.
Never the twain shall meet.
Does that answer the question? Yes, amanda listens quite well, and refuses
to obey if I tell it
