Hi all, referrring to my previous posting, I have also written a shell script to be executed as root, which prepares IOmega disks for the use with amanda. More precisely, it - formats the disk, checking for bad sectors - mounts the disk and adds a data subdirectory - makes user amanda owner of this data sub directory - calls amlabel to label the disk - unmounts and ejects the disk.
Unlike the changer script mentioned in my previous posting, this is not generally usable as is, because it is relying on a couple of settings of personal taste, such as - IOmega disks are partitioned and the fourth primary partition is taking the whole disk. So the disk is visible as /dev/sda4. - I am preferring to use an ext2 filesystem on the disk (rather then a dos or vfat file system) - I am doing a chown of the data sub directory such that - depending on the umask setting - only user amanda and root can see the files written to the disk. Writing this, I am not asking to add this for general distribution, or at most hiding it in an appropriate example directory of the general distribution. If anyone is interested to see this script, please send me email. -- Mit freundlichen Gruessen/Best Regards Dr. Christoph Pospiech High Performance & Parallel Computing Advanced Computing Technology Center Phone +49-621-469450, Fax: ...-469200, eMail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mobile +49-171 765 5871 ---- Please Note new Tel+FAX Number ----
