Hi,
sorry for the delay, don't wonna break our production setup, so i've setup another Solaris9 box together with a spare dds4x6 changer connected to it for some testing. here we go...
1st of all, spanning of a single DLE over two tapes works fine, using
http://www.cs.umd.edu/~building/span_split_V7.0-2.4.5b1-20050214.patch.gz
against
http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~martinea/amanda/amanda-2.4.5b1-20050214.tar.gz
i haven't tested recovering yet.

I'm afraid that the results of the spanning patch by John Stange (Hi John) are a bit less than optimum in some regards.
it's a patch, leading us to some kind of fine release later on, so let's test it :-)
using amverify <mysetup>, i've got this when the next tape is a fresh tape:
$ amverify <mysetup> Tape changer is chg-zd-mtx... 2 slots... (should read: 6 slots ?) Verify summary to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Defects file is /tmp/amanda/amverify.17109/defects amverify <mysetup> Loading current slot... Using device /dev/rmt/0cbn Volume <mysetup>07, Date 20050308 End-of-Information detected. Loading next slot... Using device /dev/rmt/0cbn Volume <mysetup>08, Date X Fresh tape. Skipping... $
..whereas <mysetup>07 is the 2nd tape of the last run. <mysetup>06 would be the 1st tape of this run. never used amverify before anyways... just tested it because of Gene's hint.
after loading the 1st tape of this run, i get:
Loading current slot... Using device /dev/rmt/0cbn Volume <myetup>06, Date 20050308 End-of-Information detected. Loading next slot... Using device /dev/rmt/0cbn Volume <mysetup>07, Date 20050308 End-of-Information detected. $
mail report says:
Tapes: <mysetup>07 No errors found!
...seems as amanda thinks only <mysetup>07 was written by this run. don't know if this happens using 2.4.5b1-20050214 also... haven't tested.
...will give you more results when i've checked recovery, or should i switchover to the hackers list ?
Cheers, Peter
