There are actually two different implementions of mt.
One is named "mt-GNU", the other is named "mt-st".
You probably need the "mt-st" (for SCSI-devices).
Many systems have symlinked mt to mt-st.
Make sure you're using the good version.
The output "mt --version" should clearly state
"mt-st v. 0.7" (or a higher number maybe).
(The mt-GNU says: "GNU mt version 2.4.2.91" on one of my systems/)
The "mt-st" does not know the "datcompression" command,
but is issued as: "mt -f /dev/st0 compression 0".
(At least on my systems.)
I have tried the mailing archives and gooogling but to no avail.
When I run amlabel I also get the folowing>
myserver:/usr/sbin # su amanda -c /usr/sbin/amlabel DailySet1
Usage: /usr/sbin/amlabel [-f] <conf> <label> [slot <slot-number>]
The argument after -c should be quoted.
And you need to TWO arguments: conf and the label
su amanda -c "/usr/sbin/amlabel DailySet1 YourLabel042"
If not quoted the rest of the args are just passed to the
loginshell (to be used like: "su someone -c somecmd ENV=VAR")
and not used as args of the "somecmd".
I have checkecd /usr/sbin/amcheck which has permissions that root and
disk own the utility
# -rwsr-x--- 1 root disk 189134 Jul 1 2004 amcheck
When I run amcheck command here's my output.
myserever:/usr/sbin # /usr/sbin/amcheck DailySet1
amcheck: running as user "root" instead of "amanda"
Do what the message says: you should run as user amanda,
not as user root.
# su - amanda
$ whoami
amanda
$ /usr/sbin/amcheck DailySet1
myserver:/usr/sbin # su amanda -c /usr/sbin/amdump DailySet1
could not open conf file "/etc/amanda/amanda.conf": No such file or
directory
amgetconf: errors processing config file "/etc/amanda/amanda.conf"
Forgetting the quotes, resulting in an empty config, which amdump
interprets as an empty string to locate the directory containing
amanda.conf.
