hello all,
i have a PowerStor L200 DLT tape-changer unit connected via an Adaptec 29160
controller, and am running my amanda server (v2.4.2p2) on a Linux RH v7.1
box.
i can read/label/write to a tape in the drive, and if i use 'amtape <conf>
eject', my L200 automatically unloads the tape currently in the drive and
grabs the next one in the magazine.
however, if i run an 'amcheck <conf>' i get "slot is empty" errors for every
slot in the magazine, even though they all have tapes in them (i.e.):
Amanda Tape Server Host Check

amcheck-server: slot 4: slot is empty
amcheck-server: slot 5: slot is empty

Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
Client check: 1 host checked in 0.037 seconds, 0 problems found
(brought to you by Amanda 2.4.2p2)
here's a copy of my chg-multi.conf:
multieject 0
gravity 0
needeject 1
ejectdelay 20
statefile /var/log/amanda/csd/changer-status
firstslot 0
lastslot 7
orget to specify the no-rewind version of the device.
slot 0 /dev/nst0
slot 1 /dev/nst1
slot 2 /dev/nst2
slot 3 /dev/nst3
slot 4 /dev/nst4
slot 5 /dev/nst5
slot 6 /dev/nst6
slot 7 /dev/nst7
also, what's the easiest way to sync/alter amanda so that it reads tapes
sequentially from 0-7? it seems as though every time i run amcheck it
increments the slot number it thinks its reading +1, even though the tape in
the drive came from slot0 ?
thanks in advance.
Highest Regards,
