If my guess is correct, amanda is working fine. You told it 5

Hello Amanda Users,
I've been through Docs and mans, and haven't found a definitive answer
to my questions. I apologize up front if these are RTFM questions.
1) Does Amanda support LTO 3 formats ?
If your OS can read/write the tapes, so can Amanda.
2) Would it be possible

I'm preparing to upgrade an existing Amanda installation.
It's been a while since I looked at what Amanda can do, since the existing
system just works. I'm considering using virtual tapes, in some fashion
on the new system.
These leads me to a question (perhaps the first of several). Reading
Thank you for your answers.
Would it be safe to consider that RHEL 9 and/or FC4 would be able to
support LTO3 ?
Do I need to install ftape-tools or is this obsolete ?
Cheers,
Laurent.

Chg-disk: very easy setup, very little configuration.
Chg-multi: a little more configuration, a little more flexible.

Why even use a holding disk at all with vtapes? It's not like you're going to

This looks strange. Is the drive in auto-retension mode and rewinding

No, I typed 'su amanda -c /usr/sbin/amtapetype -c -e 20g -f /dev/nst0'
Does your drive have current firmware? Check tandberg.com.
This is worth a try, good idea.

I did it by 'su amanda -c /usr/sbin/amtapetype -c -e 20g -f /dev/nst0'
Might you have somehow mucked with the tape's blocksize when
you turned off compression? Typically amanda uses 32KB blocks

I tried. No improvement, amanda still calculates 1009 hours for the
