amcheck now gives me: Amanda Tape Server Host Check ----------------------------- Holding disk /var/tmp: 7048472 KB disk space available, that's plenty amcheck-server: could not get changer info: could not determine current slot
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check -------------------------------- Client check: 1 host checked in 0.556 seconds, 0 problems found (brought to you by Amanda 2.4.3) same if I try amtape. I get the 'could not determine current slot' error. Incidentally there has been some questions as to the version of Amanda I am running. It's 2.4.3 now. I upgraded from 2.4.2 in hopes that it would fix the chg-zd-mtx problem. The system is Mandrake 9.0 ~P On Wed, 2003-02-12 at 11:09, Eric Sproul wrote: > On Wed, 2003-02-12 at 10:49, Pete Poggione wrote: > > You and I are thinking the same.
