That did it.... Or may have done it. I upgraded my FreeBSD sources to the latest 8.x stable and recompiled the world (and kernel). I then compiled and installed Perl-5.10.1 for my FreeBSD by hand, specifically enabling its threaded option. Finally, I recompiled and reinstalled Amanda 3.1.2.
I made a single virtual tape disk and tested the new configuration. The taper process was accumulating run time in that configuration and the single file system was backed up and transferred to 'tape'. :) I re-enabled my virtual tape configuration and the chg-disk changer, and as I type this, I am flushing all the backup files that have been accumulating from my tests over the last week. That appears to be working as well. Thank you. On Sun, Sep 19, 2010 at 11:58:04AM -0500, Dustin J.
