I've been quiet, mostly because our amanda installs have been working just fine....
I just updated a machine to amanda 3.3.1 (slightly old I know) via pkgsrc, which as far as I know builds amanda pretty normally. The amanda.conf has: tapedev "/dev/nrst0" which is a file in /dev: crw-rw---- 1 root operator 14, 1 Mar 23 11:15 /dev/nrst0 I get ERROR: chg-single: error opening device '/dev/nrst0': "/dev/nrst0" is not a valid device name. whereas this config worked fine with amanda 2.5.x. This is jsut the raw, nonrewinding first scsi tape drive, and it's pretty normal: st0 at scsibus0 target 6 lun 0: <CERTANCE, ULTRIUM 2, 1914> tape removable st0 : drive empty st0: sync (12.50ns offset 127), 16-bit (160.000MB/s) transfers I also tried putting "tape:/dev/nrst0" as the tapedev, and moving that to a device definition, but neither of those succeeded. I am finding the changer docs and the code a bit confusing. Surely just using a single tape drive is normal. Any clues would be appreciated. Greg
