I now see a 'data' link to slot 5, I nuked that 2 days ago because nothing
was paying an attention to it, and neither amcheck nor amdump was updating
it, and the loss causes no errors, none, nada, zip. My helper script no
longer pays any attention to it either.
Now, just for S&G:
[ama...@coyote ~]$ amcheck Daily
Amanda Tape Server Host Check

Searching for label 'Dailys-2':found in slot 2: volume 'Dailys-2'
Will write to volume 'Dailys-2' in slot 2.

So there is something not being shared with the rest of the world.
As for:

[ama...@coyote ~]$ amgetconf Daily tpchanger
chg-disk:/amandatapes/Daily
[ama...@coyote ~]$ amgetconf Daily tapedev
returns an empty line.
What should it be saying?
Thanks Dustin.
