Hi All:
Is there anyone still on this list? I have not seen any activity for
quite some time but I am going to give it a shot anyway...
We have been using Amanda for 15+ years on six different servers but we
have now encountered something that I am not able to fix or get around.
We are setting up a new HPE DL380G11 server with an existing HPE MSL2024
tape library running RHEL9. Unfortunately amanda is no longer distributed
with RHEL so we grabbed the EPEL distribution (3.5.3). Once I got my head
around the xinet/systemd and udev/changer issues things seem to be working
well with one annoying exception. amcheckdump seems to have a problem
calling xfsrestore...
1 volume(s) needed for restoration
The following volumes are needed: DS5D1-01

I have been doing a ton of searching but with no joy except:
Looking back at the archives for this list it appears that Bernhard
Erdmann may have encountered something similar back on December 2021:
https://mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg51562.html
Unfortunately there were no follow up messages to his original post so
I do not know if he was ever able to resolve his issue.
Can anyone assist in at least pointing me in the right direction.
TIA
Regards, Hugh
