Got the problem figured out. turns out it was an mtx question.
In the chg-zd-mtx file [line 306] there is a statement MTX=mtx I changed that to MTX=/mypathtomtx/mtx and now everything works. but thanks anyway guys. /mikkel -----Original Message----- From: Gene Heskett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 4. juli 2003 17:03 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: repost (still need some help) :-) On Friday 04 July 2003 10:20, Mikkel Gadegaard wrote: >I had amanda up and running only to discover that the machine acting > as host didn't have enough HD capacity to run Amanda smoothly.

At least when using chg-scsi, that is a number only that points to the config number in chg-scsi.conf because it can contain more than one changers configuration info, therefore its the config number. In my case its the first and only, but thats beside the point. It looks like this in amanda.conf: tpchanger "chg-scsi" # the tape-changer glue script tapedev "0" # the no-rewind tape device to be used changerfile "/usr/local/etc/amanda/DailySet1/chg-scsi.conf" And of course make sure you are using a consistent name for the changer.conf file. -- Cheers, Gene AMD [EMAIL PROTECTED] 320M [EMAIL PROTECTED] 512M 99.26% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly Yahoo.com attornies please note, additions to this message by Gene Heskett are: Copyright 2003 by Maurice Eugene Heskett, all rights reserved.
