Hi, in theory travan-drives do work with linux and amanda, but don't use HP-drives with recent linux-kernels, for us they seemd do work correctly at backup-time, but we weren't able to restore a single file from the tapes. we made this experience with a HP-tr4 drive.
doublecheck before relying on it. if you get strange kernel-messages in syslog while reading or writing from/to the drive be verry carefully. the devices you ask about are /dev/nht0 for no-rewinding device and /dev/ht0 for auto-rewinding mode hope it helps C.Scheeder Chris Herrmann schrieb: > > Hi all, > > I was wondering if anyone has used ide tr5 tape drives successfully with > amanda, and if so, what I should be giving amanda access to. ie. for a scsi > drive, i'd set: > > /dev/nst0 > > and > > /dev/st0 > > What's the ide equivalent?
