Dear users of Amanda,
This is my first SOS call so pls be "gentle" with me.
I've successfully compiled and got Amanda in place on RH Linux 6.2 but
have this problem. When I do a 'chg-scsi eject', this makes my HP 40x6e
autoloader go bongus. It will an error message 'semiloaded'.
anybody have sucessfully deployed a hp 40x6 on linux? I've attached my
amanda.conf and changer.conf files.
For your kind advice,

# dumps before they are written to tape and are recommended for most
sites.
# The advantages include: tape drive is more likely to operate in
streaming
# mode (which reduces tape and drive wear, reduces total dump time);
multiple
# dumps can be done in parallel (which can dramatically reduce total
dump time.
# The main disadvantage is that dumps on the holding disk need to be
flushed
# (with amflush) to tape after an operating system crash or a tape
failure.
# If no holding disks are specified then all dumps will be written
directly
# to tape. If a dump is too big to fit on the holding disk than it
will be
# written directly to tape. If more than one holding disk is
specified then
# they will all be used round-robin.

# This is quite useful for setting global parameters, so you don't

sample file

# There's nothing special about the name `global'; if you create any
# dumptype that does not contain the word `global' or the name of any
# other dumptype that contains it, these definitions won't apply.
# Note that these definitions may be overridden in other
# dumptypes, if the redefinitions appear *after* the `global'
# dumptype name.
# You may want to use this for globally enabling or disabling
# indexing, recording, etc. Some examples:
# index yes
