Explanation: Our tape library has multiple LTO drives, we have multiple
amanda configs, but all of the amanda configs are sharing a single
database (all of the chg-zd-mtx.* files). Each amanda config (by name:
dailyset, archive, tapemgr) is using it's own tape drive, and there is also
a local dds
Do you have ipv6 enabled on your client? If so, you may want to check the
archives for a resolution I posted recently regarding RH 7.2 w/ipv6 enabled.
Long and short of was that upgrading xinetd to a more recent rpm fixed our
problem.
A symptom of this problem was the message you reported
I came across some of your posts in the amanda archives regarding the
problem you're having and I think I might have a clue about it. We've been
having the same problem recently, and I think it corresponds to our enabling
ipv6 on the machine in question. The startup script (at least in redhat)
Title: Message
I'm
going to make a couple of guesses:
1)
/home is a mount point (or at least a "disk" as far as amanda is
concerned)
2)
you're trying to restore into your own home directory
If
this is correct, then your original tar file will have files
like:
trevor/.bashrc
[I tried this only because I had the resources and a few minutes on my
hands-- the user and group are not what I would usually choose to configure
amanda]
As another datapoint to this thread-- using Compaq's commercial compiler,
amanda 242p2, and tru64 5.1A:
perl was found OK and the configure

What mtx -f /dev/sgX status says on them ?
Also make sure the device is readable by amanda user.

For those of you with tape changers and barcode readers: are any of you
using any software to generate your own custom barcodes? It seems like it
might be a bit nicer (for locating/moving tapes around) if the barcode label
could match what the tape label has.
I've only tried two pieces of
it on the back side
of my label.
You may want to check the docs with your reader, which should give the
requirements for barcodes it needs.
I had, and it does. And I believe I'm within their specs, but I'm still
getting no joy.

I moved your last question up to the top, since I suppose that's
probably key (and I should have included that info in my initial

Question: Can amanda work as a tape manager for machines that
share a tape device (or tape library)?
If that question is unclear, here is some more information that might
