But you don't know that for sure?  And is it automounted when it is 
plugged in? One of the things people do is forget...

I don't have taperscan in either of my configurations, so I guess I'm
running on the default. The lack probably comes from more than a decade
of copying in old configurations every time I install.


That setup worked for a few days now with "traditional".

Checked right now, holding disk full, dumps not taped again.

amcheck did not find the next vtape, I assume the external USB drive (= 
another chg-disk changer in my aggregate setup) has been plugged in 
yesterday.


Edited back to "lexical", amflush works now.

A bit strange and not reliable, as it seems.
