Hello!
I'm using Amanda 2.4.4 with chg-manual. Here's the piece of

It won't do that if you've told amanda how big your tapes are.

Investigating a recent posting I looked at the chg-manual code.
It contains the following:

$changerfile is configdir/changer.conf normally.
It is being sourced in this code such that the lines should

in the script chg-manual contains
no identifying expression to detect that a tape is 'online'. I added there
a string which is only present if a tape has been sucessfully loaded into

t operator-writeable.
A amanda.conf file exists and is clearly read out by
AMANDA. The important configuration tags are:
tpchanger "chg-manual"
tapedev
(Warning: Stream-Of-Trace)
OK, I'm getting closer. The reason that it keeps asking for a tape in the
same slot is because it doesn't know what slot it's on. The message:
- loaded
Should really have a slot number in the , but doesn't. The variable $used
in chg-manual is empty for unknown
FAQ-based stuff.
If I'm right, I have to setup the following in amanda.conf:
(here are only the relevant entries)
tpchanger "chg-manual"
tapedev "/dev/nsa0"
changerfile "/usr/local/perfector/amanda/services-backup/changer.conf
The config stuff looks OK to me, I would suggest leaving off the slot part
of the amlabel command. When I label tapes through chg-manual, I always just
`amlabel Config2 NextTapeName`, and if it asks me to put a tape in a
specific slot, I just re-insert the tape in the drive, wait for it to settle
into "changer.conf" as configured with "changerfile"
in amanda.conf I receive errors about that line - so I omit all lines, I simple
"touch" a changerfile 'changer.conf' to get the control files as expected from
"chg-manual".
