RE: Amanda 2.6.0 spanning

Just to clarify:
I have two identical tape drives daisy-chained to the server. I'm now using
chg-multi, with a chg-multi.conf file that defines the two physical drives as
two different slots:
slot 1 tape:/dev/nst0
slot 2 tape:/dev/nst1
So if one of the tape drives should break or die, and I have to restore a
disklist entry that is spanned across two tapes, how do I handle that? Paul
pointed out that I'd be able to use amrecover and specify the working tape
drive to use, or that I could change chg-multi.conf to define only one slot
(pointing at the working drive). That would work in a case where the disklist
entry isn't spanned across two tapes, in my mind.
But if the disklist entry is spanned across two tapes, will amrecover prompt
for a second tape during the recovery process (and accept it when inserted into
the same slot as the previous tape), or will I have to use amrestore?
Don't know if my question makes good sense...but thanks anyway for bearing with
me.

If a recover requires multiple tapes, then amrecover will ask for
them, either via the changer script (I've forgotten whether you're
using chg-manual or not) or manually.
