My apologies if this has been answered before.

Does anyone have an amanda configuration for the SpectraLogic 2K (a
hand-me-down), 
or something that I could modify? I promise not to be a nudnik about it (I
can 
modify the dump cycle for my situation, etc).

The kernel reports

[root@dhcp-81-1394 DailySet1]# cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 02 Lun: 00
  Vendor: SPECTRA  Model: 215              Rev: 2201

The special devices are /dev/sg0 for the medium changer, and
/dev/st0 and /dev/st1 for the SDX-300C tape drives. I have SDX-T3C AIT tapes
(try not
to laugh). 

I admit to making a tremendous error: I ran
  amtapetype -f /dev/nst0 -t SDX-T3C
with hardware compression enabled and got 
Writing 256 Mbyte   compresseable data:  26 sec

which means I'll have to disable hardware compression and do it over...

Thanks
