Thanks Matthew, we just figured out that the problem really was "the device is not configured", well sort of. All the other tape drive in the past from Dell have arrived pre-programmed to autoload the tape when a cartridge is inserted. These two did not arrive that way! The message I would have expected was a media error, not a "Device not configured" error. Really sent me down the wrong path! Should I look into this more? I really want to use these tape drives with the 'ch' driver and get Amanda installed and working! Confused, but wanting to help in NJ, BTW is it a good idea/OK to run with CAMDEBUG options on my test servers anyway? Do you still want that output to see why it said "Device not configured" when mt status should have given a status, and dump should have told me to mount the volume! Could it be a bug in the drive?
