I'm using an LTO4 tape library and amanda 3.2.1. When I do:
amtape <conf> slot next
Amanda skips over the slot I want it to use and goes to the last
available slot. For example, if the current slot is 4 and I want
to use tape 5, it is skipped over and 6 is loaded instead (7 is a
cleaning tape). Here's my tape entry in amanda.conf:
define changer "gen-drive-0" {
tpchanger "chg-robot:/dev/changer"
changerfile "/local/etc/amanda/gen/changer-state"
property "tape-device" "0=tape:/dev/gentape"
property "eject-before-unload" "no"
property "use-slots" "1-7"
property "fast-search" "no"
property "ignore-barcodes" "yes"
property "load-poll" "0 s poll 3 s until 120 s"
}
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Steve
