Ok, my amanda set up is coming along... amanda will
now back up my computer (i've only configured this one
client for testing purposes), but there are still some
things that i don't understand.  here's the output
from amcheck.log:

DailySet1000 (active tape)
ERROR: new tape not found in rack
       (expecting a new tape)

Out of the 30 slots i have in my tape-changer, i only
have 17 loaded... but amanda sees DailySet1000 in all
30 slots... why is that?

also, this isn't totally related to amanda, but i'm
still trying to learn this whole tape-drive thing...
my tape-changer has two tape drives in it, nts0 and
nts1.  i can do everything w/ nts0, but if i try to do
anything w/ nts1 (mt -f /dev/nts1 tell, for example),
i get an i/o error.  any clues?

thanks guys,
Cameron Matheson
