Hi,
nice to hear it's working.

PS: A little sidenote to Gene Hesket:

Pluging the chg-scsi from a neweer amanda-release into 2.4.2p2
has been the solution for these problems recomended by the one and
only John R. Jackson, and i think he knows verry good what he's saying...

Fine, so it should realy be the chg-scsi

YES! It was! Thank you! Now that I am using chg-scsi 2.4.3b4 it works just fine :-). Well, at least it changes the tapes now as expected. I still get a "tape not ready" message when I do something like "amtape Daily slot 1" to load a tape but I guess that I have to set the sleep value higher (even 90 seconds was not high enough it seems).

Thank you again for this solution!

But you don't have to worry much about the "b" in 2.4.3b4,
it locks rock solid and has a few nice features like auto-flushing
leftover dumps in the holdingdisk from the last run.

Yes, this sounds good. I will try that version when I have the time. My first goal was to get Amanda and the changer working at all... :-)

PS: viel Erfolg aus Karlsruhe weiterhin ....

Ein Dank aus Paderborn! Es hat geklappt ;-). I owe you a beer or two :-).

Regards, Stefan.
