Hmm, weird... tapedev should be on a separate line, but I guess something was wrong with your copy/paste (?), otherwise amcheck would have choke on it Anyway, your setup seems to be wrong: tapedev should be a directory containing the tapes, not the tape itself, and data must be a sym link pointing to one of the tapes. For instance, I have tapedev="file:/backup/archive" and: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/omer$ ls -l /backup/archive/ total 12 lrwxrwxrwx 1 amanda amanda 21 2007-03-28 07:02 data -> /backup/archive/slot1 -rw------- 1 amanda amanda 15 2007-03-29 17:12 info drwxr-xr-x 2 amanda amanda 4096 2007-03-27 16:07 slot1 drwxr-xr-x 2 amanda amanda 4096 2007-03-27 16:09 slot2 (don't worry about the info file, it's created by the changer) I set it up like this (first delete any changer-* file and make sure tapelist is empty) : cd /backup/archive mkdir slot1 slot2 ln -s slot1 data amlabel archive archive1 slot 1 amlabel archive archive2 slot 2 ... I think that calling the directories 'slotN' is mandatory, but not sure about that -- Cédric Lucantis
