Hi all,

A couple weeks ago I posted a message asking for help configuring Amanda 
2.4.2p2 to work under Red Hat Linux 7.2 (i386) with an ADIC FastStor DLT 
changer. �(It's actually a Dell PowerVault 120T DLT1, but the changer 
component is manufactured by ADIC) 

To recap, everything works fine from the command line - mtx and tar work fine 
for loading/unloading tapes and doing backups/restores.  I just can't get 
Amanda to even begin to work with the changer.  I've tried both the chg-mtx  
and chg-zd-mtx scripts.

John Jackson pointed me to a new chg-zd-mtx script available at 
ftp://gandalf.cc.purdue.edu/pub/amanda/chg-zd-mtx.sh.in-243 (thanks John) but 
it also barfs, complaining about "/usr/lib/amanda/chg-zd-mtx: 
@AMANDA_TMPDIR@/chg-zd-mtx.status.30913: No such file or directory"  I could 
be wrong, but from digging through the script, I'm guessing that it requires 
a later version of Amanda than 2.4.2p2.

So, my questions:

1)  Does anyone have this changer working with Amanda?  I would give just 
about anything to get my hands on copies of working config and chg-zd-mtx 
files.

2)  If it's not possible to get it working under 2.4.2p2, should I try the 
2.4.3b3 release?  Is that version useable in a production environment, and/or 
is it any more likely to work for me than 2.4.2p2?

Any pointers whatsoever would be greatly appreciated, as I've been beating my 
head against this for over a month and have made very little progress.

Thanks,
Derrick Miller
