We never laugh at new users!!! :-) Welcome! >in the mtx-changer.conf file I have: >... >statefile /var/lib/amanda/DailySet1/curinfo/localhost/_etc/state >slot 1 /dev/sga >slot 2 /dev/sga >... Where did you get the idea behind this file? It doesn't match what chg-zd-mtx is going to want. It looks like what you might set up for chg-multi, not chg-zd-mtx. >amcheck-server: could not get changer info: badly formed result from changer: >"/usr/lib/amanda/chg-zd-mtx: [: -eq: This came up a while back but I can't find it in my archives. This script has had a major overhaul for the next release. Would you mind trying it instead? You can get it at: ftp://gandalf.cc.purdue.edu/pub/amanda/chg-zd-mtx.sh.in-243 To install it: cd changer-src Save your current chg-zd-mtx.sh.in Copy the new file in as chg-zd-mtx.sh.in cd .. ./configure ... make cd changer-src make install You might want to take a look at the script itself. It starts out with a lengthy set of comments about how to set it up. >What am I missing here? I'm sure it's something about your config file and a variable in the (old) script that's not set where it should be. If you don't want to try the new version (which is fine), I think the following might be better: firstslot=1 lastslot=6 Even in the old script there is a block of comments about the format of the config file. Just make sure you throw away all the lines you don't need (it doesn't handle comments) and put keyword=value entries in exactly like it says (the new version tries to be a bit more tolerant). >Greg John R.
