I reported this to the amanda > lists aeons ago but this buglet still exists. Whew... Thanks so much. THAT is what caused the problem. I kept getting something like, # amtape daily show amtape: could not get changer info: 2 10 And could not figure it out. Worst part is that when I would run amtape in gdb... It worked! For whatever reason, that line you found worked correctly in debug; I could never find the offending code. Well, looks like I still need some work on mine. My drive needs to be told to eject the tape. But I think I can handle that one. I'd also like to get chg-chio to understand I have a cleaning tape in there. > Works well once you get all the amanda.conf and > host:~operator/.amandahosts stuff figured out. Mail me at > chris@shenton.org if you want mine as a sample. Thanks. I'm getting there. -- Crist J.
