Subject: Still a newbie...but getting somewhere...amlabel troubles
Hi all...
Thank you for all of your help on the ./tapetype issue. I learned a lot
about my drive from the Seagate site (they have excellent documentation as
far as I'm concerned) got my hardware compression turned off.
Been working on the amanda.conf file, feel like I'm prepared to label my
first tape and dump something! Again, running RH 7.1 on a Dell 333 with a
SCSI Seagate external and just a 90mm tape for starters. (Had to download
the mt command from the rpm site, but everything seems to be effectively
communicating)
In amanda.conf:
labelstr "^testtape[0-9][0-9]"
(**amanda.conf is in /usr/local/etc/amanda/backup**)
What's happening...
$su amanda -c "amlabel backup testtape01"
bash: /root/.bashrc: Permission denied
rewinding, reading label, not an amanda tape
rewinding, writing label testape01, checking labelamlabel: couldn't write
tapelist: Permission denied
And then I looked for the file called "tapelist" that the amlabel man page
said it would write to, and I couldn't find it to change it's permissions.
When I went back to re-execute the amlabel command so I could write down the
error, this is what happens:
$su amanda -c "amlabel backup testtape01"
bash: /root.bashrc: Permission denied
rewinding, reading label testtape01
rewinding, writing label testtape01, checking labelamlabel: couldn't write
tapelist: Permission denied
Which, I have to admit, for a girl who just learned how to tar on Friday and
rpm yesterday, I'm pretty jacked to see that it read the label as testtape01
that second time! But of course, it still isn't right. oops.
Can someone please help point me in the right direction?
Thanks!!
Rebecca
