Hi,
sorry for the delay, don't wonna break our production setup, so i've
setup another Solaris9 box together with a spare dds4x6 changer connected
to it for some testing. here we go...
1st of all, spanning of a single DLE over two tapes works fine, using
http://www.cs.umd.edu/~building/span_split_V7.0-2.4.5b1-20050214.patch.gz
against
http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~martinea/amanda/amanda-2.4.5b1-20050214.tar.gz
i haven't tested recovering yet.

Stange (Hi John) are a bit less than optimum in some regards.
it's a patch, leading us to some kind of fine release later on, so let's
test it :-)
using amverify <mysetup>, i've got this when the next tape is a fresh tape:
$ amverify <mysetup>
Tape changer is chg-zd-mtx...
2 slots... (should read: 6 slots ?)
Verify summary to [email protected]
Defects file is /tmp/amanda/amverify.17109/defects
amverify <mysetup>
Loading current slot...
Using device /dev/rmt/0cbn
Volume <mysetup>07, Date 20050308
End-of-Information detected.
Loading next slot...
Using device /dev/rmt/0cbn
Volume <mysetup>08, Date X
Fresh tape. Skipping...
$
..whereas <mysetup>07 is the 2nd tape of the last run. <mysetup>06 would be
the 1st tape of this run. never used amverify before anyways... just tested
it because of Gene's hint.
after loading the 1st tape of this run, i get:
Loading current slot...
Using device /dev/rmt/0cbn
Volume <myetup>06, Date 20050308
End-of-Information detected.
Loading next slot...
Using device /dev/rmt/0cbn
Volume <mysetup>07, Date 20050308
End-of-Information detected.
$
mail report says:
Tapes: <mysetup>07
No errors found!
...seems as amanda thinks only <mysetup>07 was written by this run.
don't know if this happens using 2.4.5b1-20050214 also... haven't tested.
...will give you more results when i've checked recovery, or should i
switchover to the hackers list ?
Cheers, Peter
