After setting "autoclean=1" as well as appropriate values for cleanslot and
autocleancount inside /etc/amanda/<config>/changer.conf, is there a way to
confirm when the autoclean process runs, assuming the autocleancount has been
reached? When I check the debug log
(/var/log/amanda/chg-zd-mtx.20120304014524.debug) from last Sunday's dump after
which I was expecting an autocleaning--I see where the cleaner tape was loaded,
but I don't think it was in the drive long enough to have been used to clean
it. Does this look like the autoclean process ran successfully and if so, is
there a way to have AMANDA include the cleaning status in it's mail report?
I'm running version 2.5.0p2-8 that's provided/built for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux Server release 5.7 x86_64. The tape from slot 13 was used for last
Sunday's dump and cleanslot is set to 16.
