I still can't seem to get my tapes labelled correctly.
I go through and label them all using amlabel like so
$ mtx -f /dev/sg2 status
Storage Changer /dev/sg2:1 Drives, 6 Slots ( 0 Import/Export )
Data Transfer Element 0:Full (Storage Element 1 Loaded)
Storage Element 1:Empty
time i also have a CDROM and i don't seem to be able to set the
channgerdevice. I have tried /dev/sg0 through /dev/sg7 but i just get
permision dened for them all. What should it be?
Well, what *are* the permissions on /dev/sg[0-2]? And what group is the
amanda user in?
The permissions
I'm trying to get a test setup going to mirror what we have at the IDC so i
can make changes before applying them there. I have an old DDS4 autoloader
that used to be at the IDC connected to a test setup here.
When i configure it in exactly the same way that it worked at the IDC i get
errors.

Two things come to mind, one being that to find many of the changer
robots, the kernel must be recompiled, enabled the 'scan all luns'
option. The other being that devices are assigned in the order
detected by the kernel, so whats at /dev/sg0, /dev/sg1, /dev/sg2, and
/dev/sg3? This

There *is* no sg4. What in your config files points at sg4?
my changerdev in amanda.conf - if i set this to /dev/st0 i get
$ amcheck gt-host

You need to set changerdev to the generic device which is the changer.
It'll either be 2 or 3, depending on which of those LUNs is the tape drive
and which is the changer.
ahhh that seems to work thanks - but it seems to work if i set it to sg2 or
sg3 ? Any idea why that might be?
thanks

Joshua, I've got this faint echo running around in the back of my mind
from something over a year ago, maybe even 2, where someone was
having trouble with an HP that was responding to multiple LUNS. At
the time I can't recall if the consensus was an HP bug, or a kernel
bug. In this gents

If you are mechanically inclined, remove the changer from its normal
location and re-attach the cables so that you can see what its doing.
It might be something so simple as a rubber roller thats become
polished up and is now slipping someplace in the robotics. Or even
a very bad case of

Don't have a chance to try it, but from past threads I think quotes work.
we have this issue too on our main company fileserver.
quotes work

I'm looking into upgrading my tape hardware, and while a I know lots of
sales types will give me lots of info, I was wondering what folks are
using for amanda.
