Can anyone help me?
I'm using the chg-manual on a DLT-8000, with runtapes=2. I've un-commented the section in the script that sends mail once an hour, asking for the next Amanda tape. Right now, I started an amflush after last night's failure to find the right tape. It rejected the first tape I put in (even though the last amreport said amanda expected it) but took the 2nd tape I tried. amflush is now running -- the lights on the tape drive indicate it's being written to, and it's whirring. But I'm getting about 5 emails per _minute_ with the usual chg-manual message "insert Amanda tape into slot 373 (/dev/nst0)". Yet nothing's running: [root ~]% ps aux | grep am USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND amanda 25118 0.0 0.0 1972 840 ? S 07:40 0:00 amflush Daily amanda 25119 0.0 0.0 2592 756 ? S 07:40 0:00 taper Daily amanda 25120 0.0 0.0 2628 836 ? D 07:40 0:00 taper Daily Those are just what you'd expect to see running when doing an amflush! Can anyone help me figure out what to kill to stop these email messages? As a side note, I often have trouble figuring out which tape amanda wants. amcheck runs each afternoon from crontab, just before I go home, to make sure I have the right tape in. If I forget to change the tape, when amdump fires off (also from crontab) later that evening, then two processes are requesting "insert Amanda tape", each unloading the tape after not finding the right one, and never letting the other process get started. If anyone has hacked the chg-manual script with improvements, like specifying _which_ tape amanda wants, I'd sure like a copy... Thanks, Bart --- Bart Brashers MFG Inc.
