Both of these are triggered to on by the meer presense of the keyword.

Don't forget to change the number_configs to show an additional config is available. I'm not sure what else might be required, never having had the pleasure of a large multi-drive library here. :( > # >cleancart ??? # The slot where the cleaning tape is located > # remove it if you have no cleaning tape > # >drivenum 0 # Which tape drive to use if there are more > than one drive # >dev ??? # Which is the raw device to read/write data > from the tape # It is important to use the non rewinding tape, like > # /dev/nrst0 on linux, /dev/nrsa0 on BSD .... # >startuse 0 # Which is the first slot to use > # >enduse 24 # Which is the last slot to use > # decrement this value by 1 if you have an > # cleaning tape in the last slot > # Your library holds 25 tapes? Amanda runs in base zero, so slot 24 would be the 25th slot. >statfile /mnt/raid/amanda/libexec/tape0-slot # >cleanfile /mnt/raid/amanda/libexec/tape0-clean # >usagecount /mnt/raid/amanda/libexec/tape0-totaltime # >tapestatus /mnt/raid/amanda/libexec/tape0-tapestatus # >labelfile /mnt/raid/amanda/libexec/labelfile # > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Gene Heskett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >> Sent: Tuesday, June 01, 2004 11:20 AM >> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> Subject: Re: MapBarCode error >> >> On Tuesday 01 June 2004 10:29, Dege, Robert C. wrote: >> >Gene, >> > >> >you were absolutely right! >> > >> :) You can bring your reply to my private message back to >> >> the list as >> others may benefit from your findings. >> >> >When I was configuring amanda, I ran >> > >> ># ./chg-scsi -genconf >> > >> >to generate the chg-scsi.conf file for my Tape Changer.
