On the subject of changing the taperscan, how do you do that? I tried
seeing if that would have an effect on my chg-rait problem by adding the line
taperscan oldest
to my amanda.conf, but when I ran amcheck afterwards, Amanda
complained:
amcheck: "/etc/amanda/NMHPVPR/amanda.conf", line 11: Unknown taperscan named:
oldest
but I couldn't find any documentation that explicitly said how to
change the taperscan algorithm.

Jean-Louis,
what are your further plans with this?
Will you add the mentioned property?
Will it get into amanda-3.3.10?
Should I write a small howto for the wiki or so?
