After further digging into debug files and the amanda FAQ I figured out my
etimeout value was too small.

But shouldn't an XFS kernel also preserve ACLs and attrs of restoring an
xfs dump image to an xfs volume?
Yep (which is rather nifty). But that means one has to install a new
kernel with XFS support. I was simply pointing out the *easiest*

Hi,
i bet sg0 is not your correct changer-device. What do you get if you type:
cat /proc/scsi/scsi
this shows you the devices known to your linux-system.
In this list locate your changer. If it's the firste device, /dev/sg0 is ok,
if its the second, use /dev/sg1 ..
Hope it helps

Hello all!
I am having some troubles with my AMANDA backups running too long. They
often take 20+ hours,
sometimes even breaking the 24-hour mark. The average amount of data I get

Those are some good speeds. What scsi card are you using, and what scsi
devices are on them? What's board/chip combo is the machine?
They aren't suspiciously fast, but I haven't been able to replicate them.
BTW- I find the email list atrocious, and consider it a read only device.

I've never had amflush complain about chunks being cruft files. It writes
them to tape and removes them. If amdump dies you might end up with cruft
files (both chunks and full files), but an amcleanup followed by an amflush
generally clears things out.

On my Spectra Logic (2000) there is no special provision for removing
a tape. I just eject the tape (amtape config eject), open the door
and remove the tape by hand.

Hi,
I am curious whether anyone is working on integrating Amanda with Oracle's RMAN via the Media Management API supplied by Oracle.
