Hi,
I'm trying to understand how 'amfetchdump -i' works (amanda-2.5.2p1): gertrude:$ /opt/amanda/sbin/amfetchdump -i - left2 Doing inventory/search, dumps will not be uncompressed or assembled on-the-fly. Beginning tape-by-tape search. Scanning av24-2_left2_U00015L3 (slot 6) amfetchdump: Search of av24-2_left2_U00015L3 complete and it stops there. The debug file shows: amfetchdump: debug 1 pid 26463 ruid 0 euid 0: start at Wed Sep 26 13:50:29 2007 amfetchdump: debug 1 pid 26463 ruid 105 euid 105: rename at Wed Sep 26 13:50:29 2007 search_tapes(prompt_out=2, prompt_in=0, use_changer=1, tapelist=(nil), match_list=(nil), flags=0x5046c0, features=(nil)) search_a_tape: no desired_tape current tapefile_idx = -1 What is amfetchdump suppose to generate in inventory mode? If I use '/opt/amanda/sbin/amfetchdump -i log left2' I get 'amfetchdump: Couldn't open log file log for writing: Permission denied'. I guess I have to run it as the amanda user? thanks, jf -- <° ><
