DDS3 Stacker
Hi all, I am using amanda with an HP Surestore 24x6 DDS-3 autoloader. Amanda is working well with this configuration, except that tape one is problematic, especially when moving from tape 6 to tape 1. Surprisingly, moving from say tape 3 to tape 1 seems to work more reliably. I've tried various new tapes, but it still fails. has anyone else had this problem, or do I have a dodgy piece of hardware? thanks, Ross.
Dump reports negative disk size
When I run amdump, the following message appears (presumably due to the hard drive being too big): The system is FreeBSD 4.0, with Amanda 2.4.2p2. thanks, Ross.
