I strongly recommend using the chg-zd-mtx from the current CVS now as recommended by John R. Jackson. I dropped it in place on Feb 17, and haven't had any problems since on my amanda-2.4.2p2 installation. In my amanda.conf, I have: tpchanger "/opt/local/stow/amanda-2.4.3-20020217/libexec/chg-zd-mtx" tapedev "/dev/nst0" changerfile "changer" changerdev "/dev/changer" (where /dev/changer is a symlink to the changer's sg device) In my amanda config directory, I have a changer.conf with the following values: firstslot=1 lastslot=7 cleanslot=-1 autoclean=0 autocleancount=99 driveslot=0 offline_before_unload=1 unloadpause=3 poll_drive_ready=5 max_drive_wait=300 > With this tape drive running alone on the SCSI bus from an adaptec 2944, > amverify gets occasional "Unexpected busfree in Data-in phase". I'm not seeing these errors (and never have) on my verify runs, with the configuration you describe. I suggest checking all your cabling and the HVD terminator.. Chris
