I'm trying to get amrecover to default to my changer.

I've added the following to my script that runs configure:

--with-tape-device=chg-multi \
--with-changer-device=chg-multi \

made distclean, id a make, and a make install. I'm working on the server
for the moment, so I rebooted it just to make certain that I had the
correct daemons running.

But, still....


amrecover> extract

Extracting files using tape drive /dev/nst0 on host amanda.meadwestvaco.com.
                                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The following tapes are needed: DailyDump21

This is runnig amrecover withut any options. On 2.5.0 PL1 if it atters.

Am I doing something wrong here?

Did you try the simple and documented parameter in amanda.conf:

  amrecover_changer  "changer"

No need at all to recompile and mess things up.
