Sorry, i think you don't understand my english.
On this system amanda works a long time ago, but i installed a new hard drive
in this system (it's a scsi system).
After installing the new Hard drive the devices must be changed, eg.
the tape device is changed from /dev/sg5 to /dev/sg6 and the changer device
is changed fron /dev/sg6 to /dev/sg7. The no-rewinding device is unchanged.
I didn't know that i must change the sg-devices after installing a new hard
drive.
I'm wondering after installation the drive that amanda can't read/write the
tape. Another user told me that i must change the sg-devices, what i have
done.
But the /dev/nst0 device don't work, and i don't know why.
I can put in a tape from hand in the tapedrive and can start ./amcheck Daily,
and it's all ok.
The second start of ./amcheck Daily is running....and running...and running.
No messages on the screen, sot hat i send a break after 10 minutes with
CTRL-C to the System and look into the *debug files from amanda and the
chg-scsi script can't read from de/nst0 btw. /dev/nst0 have a io-error and
can't be open.

I'm using S.u.S.E 7.0 Prof.
The Kernel is an scsi only Kernel wit compiled with gerneric SCSI, SCSI-Disk
and SCSI-Tape support.
The system was running wonderful bevor i installed a new hard drive.
