In my setup (a Debian 3.0 i386 system as yours), I use

Yes, the rewinding and non-rewinding devices are the same physical
device. The naming conventions can vary between OSs, but generally

Amanda requires a non rewinding tape, as I have read from the docs.
How could I access the tapedrive with amanda which is a rewinding device, not
a non-rewinding ?
Could it be that /dev/nst
Thanks everyone for the help. That really hit the spot.

And did you?
Amanda **must** have a non-rewinding device. For Solaris, that means
you need the name with an 'n' in it, e.g. /dev/rmt/0mn (as compared with

Hi all,
I finally got my changer working with the stctl driver SCSI II (Exabyte 10H with EXB 8500 series drive/tapes). Running on Solaris 7 (sparc). My changer finally sees all the tapes in it and now I have moved on to the point where I begin to 'amlabel
