Re: barcode reader help (and faq-o-matic-toast?)
On Thu, 13 Jan 2005 at 8:09pm, Will Lowe wrote Thanks! But I was looking for information on what amanda uses the barcode reader in the robot for, and how to make the tapechanger scripts do it -- not on how to print labels. As you label tapes, amanda will populate a file named $CONFIG/CHANGER-barcodes, with a list of tape labels and their corresponding barcodes. Whether or not amanda uses this list, I don't actually know. But it can be very helpful to you at restore time.

Re: barcode reader help (and faq-o-matic-toast?)
To get your barcode reader working, install mtx. Hmm, and use which changer script? chg-zd-mtx? I've got barcodes set up and mtx seems to find them: Storage Changer /dev/sg1:1 Drives, 23 Slots ( 0 Import/Export ) Data Transfer Element 0:Full (Storage Element 7 Loaded):VolumeTag = 07 Storage Element 1:Full :VolumeTag=01 but the barcodes file I told it to make is empty even after an amtape update run. -- thanks, Will

Re: Qualstar TLS-4480 barcode reader
Hi there, I just got a new Overland Data Neo2000 LTO-2 30-tape library. I found your post on creating barcode labels for tapes. Does is matter what data the barcode contains.

Re: chg-scsi coredumps when enabling barcode reader.
An update to this problem: When I run amanda as root user this does not happen. I wonder why, amanda user has all rights on tape devices and loader device (it is in sys group). It is also the owner of configuration, debug, log and so on directories, the amanda group is allowed to execute every single binary from amanda directory. Again, it does work when no barcode reading is involved, what is so special in chg-scsi to require root rights when it has to access barcode reader ?

I don't have a barcode reader device so I'm just throwing out possiblities... =G= Not really, the barcodes are being read trough the same device which is used to controll the library, and that one is readable / writable by sys group. Also, the chg-scsi is actually able to read the barcodes (visible in debug) but trashes somewhere past that point. I did 2 x trusses, one for root and one for amanda, this is what I see when looking at the area near crash: Amanda User: ~~~ cut write(10, 1 0 3 7 6 3 5 5 9 7 : #.., 50) = 50 time() = 1037635597 write(10, 1 0 3 7 6 3 5 5 9 7 : #.., 37) = 37 time() = 1037635597 write(10, 1 0 3 7 6 3 5 5 9 7 : d.., 51) = 51 time() = 1037635597 write(10, 1 0 3 7 6 3 5 5 9 7 : #.., 48) = 48 open64(/etc/amanda/daily.scsi/tape0-slot, O_RDONLY) = 4 fstat64(4, 0xFFBFF728) = 0 fstat64(4, 0xFFBFF5D0) = 0 ioctl(4, TCGETA, 0xFFBFF6B4)Err#25 ENOTTY read(4, 0\n, 8192) = 2 llseek(4, 0x, SEEK_CUR) = 1 close(4)= 0 time() = 1037635597 write(10, 1 0 3 7 6 3 5 5 9 7 : #.., 31) = 31 time() = 1037635597 write(10, 1 0 3 7 6 3 5 5 9 7 : u.., 57) = 57 time() = 1037635597 write(10, 1 0 3 7 6 3 5 5 9 7 : u.., 64) = 64 time() = 1037635597 time() = 1037635597 time() = 1037635597 time() = 1037635597 time() = 1037635597 time() = 1037635597 Incurred fault #6, FLTBOUNDS %pc = 0x000182E4 siginfo: SIGSEGV SEGV_MAPERR addr=0x0020 Received signal #11, SIGSEGV [default] siginfo: SIGSEGV SEGV_MAPERR addr=0x0020 end Root User: ~~~ cut write(10, 1 0 3 7 6 3 5 6 2 2 : #.., 50) = 50 time() = 1037635622 write(10, 1 0 3 7 6 3 5 6 2 2 : #.., 37) = 37 time() = 1037635622 write(10, 1 0 3 7 6 3 5 6 2 2 : d.., 51) = 51 time() = 1037635622 write(10, 1 0 3 7 6 3 5 6 2 2 : #.., 48) = 48 open64(/etc/amanda/daily.scsi/tape0-slot, O_RDONLY) = 4 fstat64(4, 0xFFBFF718) = 0 fstat64(4, 0xFFBFF5C0) = 0 ioctl(4, TCGETA, 0xFFBFF6A4)Err#25 ENOTTY read(4, 0\n, 8192) = 2 llseek(4, 0x, SEEK_CUR) = 1 close(4)= 0 time() = 1037635622 write(10, 1 0 3 7 6 3 5 6 2 2 : #.., 31) = 31 time() = 1037635622 write(10, 1 0 3 7 6 3 5 6 2 2 : u.., 57) = 57 time() = 1037635622 write(10, 1 0 3 7 6 3 5 6 2 2 : u.., 64) = 64 time() = 1037635622 time() = 1037635622 time() = 1037635622 time() = 1037635622 time() = 1037635622 time() = 1037635622 time() = 1037635622 time() = 1037635622 write(10, 1 0 3 7 6 3 5 6 2 2 : #.., 42) = 42 time() = 1037635622 write(10, 1 0 3 7 6 3 5 6 2 2 : #.., 34) = 34 time() = 1037635622 write(10, S C S I _ E x e c u t e.., 38) = 38 time() = 1037635622 write(10,0 0, 3) = 3 time() = 1037635622 write(10,0 0, 3) = 3 time
chg-scsi coredumps when enabling barcode reader.
Greetings, We have a following setup: Solaris 9 based Netra 1205 machine Amanda 2.4.3 Overland Data LibraryPro with 2 x AIT2 drives (4.20 firmware). The problem is, that chg-scsi crashes with segmentation fault when we enable barcode reader (havebarcode 1) for that library, it works well without barcode enabling. Does anyone has an idea why this crash happens ?

Re: chg-scsi coredumps when enabling barcode reader.
Here is gcc -v: Reading specs from /opt/sfw/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.9/2.95.3/specs gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release) And that was not working before ether. For now we have rolled back to chg-zd-mtx, but would like to use chg-scsi if it would be working.

Error with barcode reader Email Message
Hi. I'm having a little trouble understanding why everytime I run amcheck or amdump I receive a large email with the subject Error with barcode reader on Fri ... and contains a list full of enties like:- Fri Nov 8 10:38:05 GMT 2002 Invoked with args '-info' STATUS - currently loaded slot = -1 INFO - current slot -1, last slot 9, can go backwards 1 Fri Nov 8 10:38:05 GMT 2002 Invoked with args '-search BacypMis12' SEARCH - WARNING!!! BacypMis12 not found in current ADIC- barcodes database. - WARNING!!! Check your typing, and/or update the database. From my point of view, the barcode reader is working perfectly. I can still run inventory commands etc. Even when amcheck is running the autoloader still looks for and locates the correct tapes but when either amcheck or amdump begin, amanda sends out the message! Any ideas would be most welcome Thank you!

I got back 0 0 0 and the labelfile was created with an entry :2:TEMP-00 So I ran a amtape Temp slot next, which loaded the next tape, TEMP-01, and then ran the label command ./chg-scsi -label TEMP-01 and the labelfile changed, but the entry wrote over the first one: :2:TEMP-01 was all that was in the labelfile. I'm not sure what the 2 is, or what the fields are supposed to be. Just to show what the barcodes are like, here is a line from mtx: Storage Element 5:Full :VolumeTag=A4 What do you all think?

Barcode reader
Hi all, I'm happily using chg-scsi with our StorEdge and backups are going well. Thanks to you all for helping me sort out a couple of things. I've tried to find an answer to this in the archives but to no avail. The StorEdge we use has a barcode reader, and the tapes are physically labelled. If I use mtx to check status, I get a nice list of tapes and barcode entries. I have an entry for labelfile in my changer config file, but when I run the chg-scsi -info command, I get 10 20 1 0 The fourth entry indicates I have no reader, but I do. How can I tell amanda and chg-scsi that there's a reader to use? - - - -- Eric Trager
