The drive was ready. And the same command works fine if I run the old (2.4.2p2) version or amrestore. >In any case, could you apply the following patch and report what the >error code is (it will now be logged in the same message)? > >A quick glance at the 2.4.2 code seems to indicate it's doing the exact >same thing as 2.4.3, so I'm not sure why there would be a problem (not >saying there isn't -- just don't get it yet). Here's what I get when I run the patched 2.4.3 version: # /amanda/sbin/amrestore /dev/rmt0.1 shrike /home amrestore: could not stat /dev/rmt0.1: A memory address is not in the address space for the process. Thanks for looking into this. --david
