Hello all- I'm a a newibie, and brand new to Amanda. I'm running 2.2.19 kernal from Slackware (about v. 8.0, that was easy to load on this laptop <smile>). I downloaded the latest amanda 2.4.3 I built the files "--with-user=amanda --with-group=disk" while logged in as root. and I created the amanda user with primary group of disk.
When I run amlabel It responds: amlabel housenet HousenetSet00 labeling tape in slot 1 (dev/nst0): rewinding, reading label, reading label: Input/output error rewinding, writing label HousenetSet00 amlabel: writing label: tape is write-protected Now, as root was able to mt -f /dev/tape erase so I know the tape is NOT write protected! I tried the erase as the amanda user, and I got permission denied. I suspect that amlabel is simply saying write-protected when in fact it is just permission denied. As a newbie that has looked in the FOM, and read the mailing list for almost a week, I'm confused as to WHAT group I should compile under. Some people say operator, others disk, others xxx (take your pick <grin>). Is the group you use more dependant on what distro you use (hence the permission issue?) Is the group my problem? Some guidance would be appreciated. Thanks -- __________________________________________________________ Sign-up for your own FREE Personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup
