Hello, Any help on this matter will be greatly appreciated. During many of my operations, such as amtape, amdump, before anything happens, the process just seems to hang. It must be caught in a loop somewhere. I think it has something to do with the cleaning tape, because during this command:
bash-2.05a$ /usr/sbin/amtape Execulink label Execulink02 amtape: scanning for tape with label Execulink02 I see this in the process list, once it has hung: [root@lon-backup root]# ps -feaw | grep zd amanda 19720 19675 0 13:22 pts/0 00:00:00 /bin/sh /usr/lib/amanda/chg-zd-mtx -search E02 amanda 19780 19720 1 13:22 pts/0 00:00:06 /bin/sh /usr/lib/amanda/chg-zd-mtx -slot clean amanda 20297 19780 0 13:29 pts/0 00:00:00 /bin/sh /usr/lib/amanda/chg-zd-mtx -slot clean If I ctrl-c, and try again, it will work. This seems to happen often, but not consistently. Any thoughts? -- Jay
