We're curently using a 5 slot DLT IV tape changer. I'm getting an
increased amount of errors and the tape drive is quite old now.

We're considering the purchase of s single LTO2 drive.

We're using amanda 2.4.5 on centos 4.2 without problem

Kernel is  2.6.9-22.0.1.ELsmp

Gnu Tar is 1.14

I have exactly the same (yes the gnutar 1.14 of CentOS 4.2 has the
sparse file bug solution backported).

I would like to know if any of you is using a similar OS for the
amanda server, having succes with LTO2 drives and the drive
manufacturer/model you are using.

I am since 3 months now the lucky user of an HP448 (LTO Ultrium2).
