2001-02-14 Thread Joseph Del Corso
I was just curious if there was a way, and if so what the command line syntax (linux) was to do it, to see a list of the files/directories, space used, etc, by a dump. Specifically is there a way to see how much space was used by a dump cycle, and to see what files went into the dump. Can

amlabel + rack of tapes question

2001-02-15 Thread Joseph Del Corso
Is it possible to amlabel an entire rack of tapes without doing it manually for each tape? Specifically I have roughly 35 tapes that I'd like to label in some kind of automated fashion all at once. Besides writing my own script (which would take time and more than likely a HECK of a lot of debu

First I'd like to thank everyone for their help with scripts, I recieved quite a few that were all excellent resources for creating my own. I have a tape rack that holds 35 tapes, and an robotic arm tape changer that picks up the tapes and sticks them in the tape drive(s). I modified chg-zd-mtx

Front ends for visual simplicity?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that nst0 is your TAPE device, not the changer device. I have a tapechanger that's hooked up via scsi cable, which is controlled by mtx through the device driver /dev/sg3 (the device driver may vary depending on how you have the tapechanger linked to your
