Hi, Searching the archives, I found messages from Don Potter concerning using the L280 on a Sun and that he had it working. I am attempting to use an L280 on a Linux system. The hardware is recognized by the OS and I am able to load/unload tapes manually at the console and using mtx. However, I am having a problem when I attempt to run amcheck. For some reason, I suspect configuration errors on my part, amcheck will load/unload a couple of tapes and then I get a hardware error indicating the drive is empty (it is not) and the device fails to operate at all. I end up removing the DLT drive and manually removing the tape. After this, system checks on the library report OK.
Any ideas as to what may be causing this, or what I need to change/ modify in the amanda configuration? Thank you. Lee
