Hi, everyone,
I'm trying to setup a new backup server running Red Hat and Amanda
2.4.2p2. I'm using an Exabyte VXA-1 RakPaq, basically two LVD SCSI
VXA-1 tape drives which I have daisy chained together. vxaTool reports
that the first drive is /dev/sga and the second is /dev/sgb. I can

Hi, everyone,
I changed the device to /dev/st0 and everything worked, including

the amanda rpms.

I did use the rpms, I did reinstall, and everything worked. I have no

Hi, Jon,

I have on a Red Hat Linux system, but I also administer a lot of Solaris
and AIX boxes. I compiled amanda myself on Solaris, and an up-to-date
package that automated a lot of the steps I had to go through would be a
