I rebuilt it with my backup of the config, and started from scratch
on the rest of it. What I was missing in the amanda.conf was the
line 'changerdev'. I got that from reading the chg-disk src comments.
I don't think thats in your HOWTO, or I'm going blind in my old age.
And, I have it all working with this 'mkvtapes' script:
----------mkvtapes, cut here-----------
#!/bin/sh
rm -fR /amandatapes/Dailys
rm -f /usr/local/etc/amanda/Daily/tapelist
touch /usr/local/etc/amanda/Daily/tapelist
for n in 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23
24 25 26 27 28 29 30
do
mkdir -p /amandatapes/Dailys/slot${n}
chmod -v 750 /amandatapes/Dailys/slot${n}
rm -f /amandatapes/Dailys/data
ln -s /amandatapes/Dailys/slot${n} /amandatapes/Dailys/data
amlabel Daily Dailys-${n} slot ${n}
done
rm /amandatapes/Dailys/data
ln -s /amandatapes/Dailys/slot01 /amandatapes/Dailys/data
echo
echo slot dirs made
echo
ls -lR
---------EOF-----------
And it all runs in about 5 or 6 seconds!
Now, needless to say, I'm going to remove the exec bits on that puppy.
Oh, and you were half right on the 00 01 thing, amlabel upchucks on the
00, but works just fine on a range of 01-30. Which is puzzling because
the rest of amanda seems to run on the base 0 numbering system. Bug?
Dunno, & its now moot.
Now I have to go fix my wrapper scripts for the name changes & re-enable
amanda in her cron.conf. Tonight should be a real doozy as its been
since back in June that the last backup was done.
Now, my question is: how does that 'data' link get replaced when the
'changer' is advanced? Do I need to add that to my wraper scripts?
Thanks Stefan. You really did save a lot of time in re-inventing
this.
