Hi,
I tried to run flexbackup on one of our machine but did not get much far :-(
The problem seems to be that if I set the variable $device to '/dev/nst0' it does not accept it and returns following error:
flexbackup version 1.0.1 (http://flexbackup.sourceforge.net)
/etc/flexbackup.conf syntax OK
Errors:
$device must be set to a directory, a local device, or a remote device
This happens even if I override the setting in flexbackup.conf by command line switch.
I am almost positive that the device is working as I am using it for backup regularly and 'mt -f /dev/nst0 stastus' output is:
SCSI 2 tape drive:
File number=0, block number=0, partition=0.
Tape block size 0 bytes. Density code 0x26 (DDS-4 or QIC-4GB).
Soft error count since last status=0
General status bits on (41010000):
BOT ONLINE IM_REP_EN
which indicates that the device is up and alive.
I am running Mandrake 9.0,
mt-st v. 0.7
perl v5.8.0
the /dev/nst0 is sym-link to /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/mtn
The tape is HP DAT40i connected to Adaptec 2930U.
As I am not a Perl expert I am not entirely sure what to look for.
Any suggestions very welcome.
Cheers,
Petr Voles
