Subject: Should info be a directory or
file??
Here is the directory structure of my amanda
backup directory:
-rw-r--r-- 1 amanda
amanda 16792 Aug 3 20:15
amanda.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 amanda
amanda 21124 Aug 1 22:28
amanda.conf.bak
lrwxrwxrwx 1 amanda
amanda 13 Aug 3 20:16
data -> HomexBackup01
-rw-r--r-- 1 amanda
amanda 100 Aug 3 22:58
disklist
drwxrwxr-x 2 amanda
amanda 4096 Aug 3 22:58

drwxrwxr-x 2 amanda
amanda 4096 Aug 4 19:16
HomexBackup01
drwxrwxr-x 4 amanda
amanda 4096 Aug 3 22:27
index
drwxrwxr-x 2 amanda
amanda 4096 Aug 4 19:16
info
drwxrwxr-x 3 amanda

info is currently a directory since amcheck gives
me an error otherwise.
I am doing a tapeless backup and I want my
data backed up to the HomexBackup01 directory. If I try to label this
directory as a tape, I get an error like so:
[amanda@backup backup]$ amlabel backup
HomexBackup01
rewinding
amlabel: tape_rewind: tape open:
file:/usr/local/amanda/etc/amanda/backup/: Is a directory
If I delete the info directory, the label
succeeds...
[amanda@backup backup]$ rm -rf
info
[amanda@backup backup]$ amlabel backup HomexBackup01
rewinding,
reading label, not an amanda tape
rewinding, writing label HomexBackup01,
checking label, done.
Now if I look back at my directory, amlabel
creates a info file. Here is my new directory structure:
[amanda@backup
backup]$ ls -l
total 72
-rw-r--r-- 1

I am using 2.4.3b3. Any ideas?
Thanks,
