re-label your tapes (if you don't care about the data they contain). This will re-populate your tapelist file.
Use the "force" switch if needed. Cyr Arthur Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Envoyé par : [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/03/2008 16:25 A [email protected] cc Objet Tapelist Hi all, I'm hoping someone can help me with a confusing situation i've gotten myself into... First of all, I have configured and tested Amanda to satisfaction, and am ready to use it in production. Thus, I found and followed the steps in this FAQ: http://www.amanda.org/docs/faq.html#id346890 Ok, I'm done with testing /Amanda/, now I want to put it in production. How can I reset its databases so as to start from scratch? First, remove the `curinfo' database. By default, it is a directory, but, if you have selected any other database format (don't, they're deprecated), they may be files with extensions such as .dir and .pag. Then, remove any log files from the log directory: |log.<TIMESTAMP>.<count>| and |amdump.<count>|. Finally, remove the |tapelist| file, stored in the directory that contains |amanda.conf|, unless |amanda.conf| specifies otherwise. Depending on the tape changer you have selected, you may also want to reset its state file. This I did, and now, when running amcheck i get: "/etc/amanda/DailySet1/disklist", line 82: disk dumptype expected Amanda Tape Server Host Check ---------------------------------- ERROR: tapefile /etc/amanda/DailySet1/tapelist: No such file or directory, you must create an empty file. So, I search for the permissions the empty file needs to be created with, but stumble upon this: http://www.linuxmanpages.com/man8/amanda.8.php TAPE MANAGEMENT The /tapelist/ file contains the list of tapes in active use. This file is maintained entirely by Amanda and should not be created or edited during normal operation. So.... Now that i have amanda all set up, and have all my tapes properly labeled, I have deleted my tapelist file, and don't know where to go from here! Thanks in advance for any help! --acorn
