Hi All, I installed Amanda 2.6.1p2 into Redhat EL 6 and am evaluating it for the company for which I am working.
The RPM package I installed is included in a install DVD of Redhat EL 6. I tried to use chg-disk, but encounterd a problem. I set tpchanger in newer style, just like this: tpchanger "chg-disk:/var/amanda/virtual/MgTest01" I made plural slots in the virtul disk and labeled them and run amdump twice. Then I loaded the slot used by 1st run and tried to restore from it by amrestore but it failed, just like this: # amrestore -p file:/var/amanda/virtual/MgTest01 my_server_name > tmp.tar amrestore: Error reading volume label: Error checking directory /var/amanda/virtual/MgTest01/data/: No such file or directory. This seems the same trouble decribed in the following URL: http://marc.info/?l=amanda-hackers&m=124590988502332&w=2 I tried the patch for disk.pm which was attached the following message in this thread, then amrestore works sane. I also tried setting tpchanger in old style like this: tpchanger "chg-disk" tapedev "file:/var/amanda/virtual/MgTest01" This also makes amrestore work sane. I am planning to use Amanda 2.6.1p2 several months after. Which is the best choice for me? (1) Wait for Amanda 2.6.1p3 which allows me to use chg-disk in newer style. (2) Use chg-disk in old style.
