Hi all, I have an HP DAT24x6i 6 slot changer (HP C1557A U812) which seems to be working well, except for one problem. When amanda is on the last tape in the magazine and requests the next one, the first tape is loaded but amanda fails to recognise it. The error I get is: amcheck-server: slot Use: no tape online This also happens if I request the first tape by its label name using amtape. However, if I tell amtape to load slot 1, or get it to read the label when that slot is already loaded, it works without a problem. It looks like amanda isn't waiting long enough for the new tape to be loaded when the magazine has to be flipped (I have no idea how it works internally), but this doesn't happen when changing from slot 3 to 4 (which are also on opposite sides of the magazine). Can I increase this timeout somehow, or am I barking up the wrong tree? Yours, John ------------------------------------------------------------------ [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tas Access Systems Administrator Phone: 1300 655 633 Accounts: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Support: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
