There has been alot of discussion lately on how to use 
RAIT. I have attempted to setup rait on my site and I haven't had
much success.

I have and AIT-3 Overland library system that can hold 38 tapes.
My setup is like this I split the library system in have the first 18 
slots and its drive belong to a certain number of hosts. The other
half is meant for one host ane one host alone.

The first have uses one tape device and the chg-zd-mtx tape 
changer and that works well. When I tried to configure RAIT
with chg-manual I am getting prompted to insert tapes that are 
already in the library.

Here is an example
bash-2.04$ ~/sbin/amcheck-2.4.3b3 bric2
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
WARNING: holding disk /home/holding: only 768305316 KB free (933160960 KB 
requested)
amcheck-server: slot 22: rewinding tape: No such file or directory
insert tape into slot 23 and press return


In the changerdebugfile this is what it shows.

All the sections that say fail what does that mean.

I've also looked at the mailing list archive to see
about if people had the same problem and I don't 
see much mention there was post were a person recommended
that you comment out this section in the script

$DD if=$tape bs=32k count=1 >> $logfile 2>&1

which I did. I still keep getting prompted for a tape.

Here is the relevant lines of my amanda.conf file

org "bric2"             
mailto "sysadmin AT bric.uchicago DOT edu"             
dumpuser "amanda"

holdingdisk hd1 {
    comment "main holding disk"
    directory "/home/holding"   
    use 911290 Mb              

define tapetype AIT-3x2 {
    comment "Sony AIT-3 Tape 100/200GB RAIT drive"
    length 159440 mbyteS
    filemark 17229 kbytes
    speed 3268 kps

My last question in rait the way that I have it setup when I label 
tapes are they looked at as one tape or 2 seperate tapes.
