This is not of great importance, but I would like to see my tapes ejcet
after a Amanda run. I use a simple DAT system /dev/nst0 and it takes
about 20 secs between pushing the button and seeing the tape. In
practice this appears to be just enough to loose my attention and forget
about the thing
Easy.
Set the cron line to include a tape eject command after running amdump.
In my configuration, the line looks something like:
30 03 * * * /usr/local/amanda/sbin/amdump default; mt -f /dev/nst0 rewoffl
Check out the manpage for "mt" most unixes have either this command or
something
Hi,
that's all ok, but i use the "" sing in place of the ";",
which has the nice effect of an error-detection:
if the amdump faild for any reason, the tape does not get ejected,
and i get reminded to check what went wrong...

I am trying to set up Amanda for my remote systems. I use an ATL L500

doing simple tar directly to the DLT tape using /dev/st0(or /dev/nst0)
from a RH Linux 6.2 system.
After reading much documentation, I find no /dev/ch0 and
Hi,
I have problems with amlabel. Sometimes, when I label a tape,
there are no problems and the process takes a minute or so. And
sometimes (2 out of 6 tapes), Amanda says, that it is writing the
label to the tape and when the checking label process is going on,
amanda hangs up. Only a

Looks like some problem in DUMP. I'd ask around in a DUMP-specific

A simple "tail amdump" shows it always exits with a zero. Only very
serious ones (e.g. a totally corrupt amanda.conf) would cause a non-zero
exit. It does not exit non-zero for backup errors, e.g. client down,
out of tape, etc.
... So what would be the reason, because sometimes I don't
have any problems? Are the tapes crap? I wonder about it,
because for that money you should get good tapes and not a
failure rate of 33%. Thanks in advance. BTW, these are OnStream
ADR50 tapes...
This is almost certainly a hardware

Shame on me. "Use the Source, Luke!".
To be specific, amdump is a shell script and:

If you want finer control than that, you'll have to switch to GNU tar.

There were no problems with amdump's level 0 run last night.
sda10 backed-up along with the rest of my partitions.
There was no power outage on any of the systems when sda10 failed to dump

Why does if=some device work and if=some file does not? Is this
because I have an ext2 filesystem on the disk and copied the file with
cp?
If it's a file on an ext2 system, just use tar directly:
tar -xzvf the_file
OR
tar --extract --gzip --verbose --file=the_file

Thanks John, I think you are absolutely right to question the dump

likely that the processes it depends on are the main cause, and I don't know
how to find out what these processes are.

Well, I'd be a lot happier if it was ancient so I could blame it :-).
You're right that that seems pretty recent, so it may not be the culprit.

In my disklist.conf, I have set up the following:

I recommend you put a real host name in there instead of "localhost".
If you ever need to move to a new server, that name will be wrong.

Amcheck could (and should -- I'll add it to the
