Greetings;

I have added a 1.0 TB Maxtor drive to the system, and copied, using mc, 
everything that was on the 400GB deathstar I had been using for my virtual 
tapes to this new drive.

The I edited /etc/fstab to reflect the LABEL name of the new disk in the line 
that mounts /amandatapes in that file.

Then I did 'umount /amandatapes', checked with df to see that it was gone, and 
issued a 'mount /amandatapes', checked with df and the new drive was there 
as /amandatapes.

And as the user amanda, 'amcheck Daily' is happy as a clam.

I have not rebooted yet, don't see why I'd need to, but can anyone come up 
with a good reason why after checking tonight's run of amanda, that I can't 
repartition that 400GB deathstar (which is still breathing just fine) and 
install a ubuntu-9.04 preview just for grins?  Reason?  /me tired of being 
fedoras lab test rat.  /me tired of not being able to play the videos my kids 
send me.  Yes, I like to bleed, and play the canary bit in a coal mine play, 
but when I break something, I want it to be something _I_ did that broke it.

Comments?

OK, so you're a Ph.D.  Just don't touch anything.
