Not an 'amanda_changer' in my old amanda.conf, remember this thing can darned 
near be exempt from child labor laws.  I do have:

tpchanger       "chg-disk"

and I also have:

amrecover_changer "chg-disk" set.

and can reset the former of course, but why didn't amcheck complain?  Unforch 
it will be a while before I can test it, the disk is unmounted atm as 
smartctl says there were some 79 errors, so an 'e2fsck -c /dev/sdb' is 
running on it now.  But its reading about 70M/sec so it should be done in an 
hour or so. About 40% now.

What else do I need to change in my amanda.conf before it bites me again?

Humm, put that in my  amanda.conf, but running the 2.6.1alpha-2081114 version, 
amgetconf says this:
amgetconf Daily amanda_changer
is a huge syntax error, and the man page doesn't mention this at all.  
Building the 1119 version now, but I see no mention in the ChangeLog either.  

Please clarify.
