PS. I'm getting a new cleaning tape for my L9 this week and wondered if
anyone has thought more about how to get cleaning tape usage incorporated
into the Amanda schema somehow? I have left a spare slot in the array
cartridge for the cleaning tape to sit in.

The tape config file in the amanda config directory has options
for cleaning slot and tape count between cleanings, is that what
you are thinking of ?

Yes, just wondering if that can be used to automate cleaning tape usage or whether cleaning cycles need to be done manually. I don't know if Amanda has a way to detect when a drive says it needs cleaning.
