Jean-Louis,

I couldn't get ./autogen to work ... same complaint about aclocal.

I downloaded 3.4.5 and it configured and build just peachy.

I am testing now, but everything looks good.
...

Jean-Louis,

Thanks for the quick reply.

The patch appears to apply correctly. configure appear to run correctly.

The attachment shows an error which occurs during gmake.

I have time and...

FreeBSD doesn't have libdl so Amanda 3.4.3 and 3.4.4 won't build.

The Makefile.in in the device-src directory unconditionally tries to include -ldl. This causes FreeBSD to fail during the build....

Jean-Louis,

Sorry it took so long to get back to you.

The changes that you made allows amanda to build properly on FreeBSD. There is still one test in "configure" that fails to detect FreeBSD...

Jean-Louis,

If you can let me know what I can do to test this, I'll be glad to help.

I have several VM's available for testing.

Hope I can help.

The Amanda configure script has several (4) places where it attempts to discover the FreeBSD release version. The tests fail to differentiate between release 1 and release 10.

The enclosed patch...

The test for glib_major_version in patch/build 3.3.3.svn.5188 appears to be backwards.

!glib_major_version < 2 always fails for glib 2.0+ (2.34 in my case)

I think this fixes it.

We are very happy with 3.2.0 ... thanks for the great work.

Jean-Louis,

I rebuilt amanda (using svn.3194 which includes your patch).

I ran the next backup cycle (approximately 44Gb).

The tape error appears to reflect the patch as expected.

Dustin,

The output of mt status indicates that the Mammoth drive is configued (default) to variable block mode.

Jean-Louis,

I saw that.

Yes, the path is correct.

Also, amtape and amlabel are able to manipulate the changer just fine.

Also, as I indicated, everything works on 2.6.1p1.

and the last 10000 lines.

Jean-Louis,

I applied your patch to 3.1.0 (svn.3170) and reran the backup.

The results look identical.

I am enclosing the first 10000 lines and the last 10000 lines of taper.*.debug.

This...

Jean-Louis,

yes and yes.

I will apply the patch and retry tonight.

Maybe I'm missing something here.

The amanda-2.6.1-20090223 that I just configured and installed is missing subroutines "do_clean" and "do_eject" in /usr/local/libexec/amanda/chg-glue and is...

Will these patches (chg-glue and compat.pm) be included in a near future snapshot?

You're right.

I didn't see chg-glue.pl.

I copied chg-glue.pl to chg-glue.

command: amtape DailySet2 eject

result: "amtape: slot <none> is ejected."

Yes.

Ready, willing and able.

The "processing EJECT" line verifies that I did, in fact, install compat.pm properly.

Unfortunately, as I state last night, the resulting debug logs look identical to the earlier ones (with...

I've done that.

I inserted an Amanda::Debug::debug("processing EJECT") line in compat.pm to verify correct execution.

I've created a test server with the same library hardware (an Exabyte...

Okay, I must be doing something wrong ... the results are the same.

I copied a new version of compat.pm to Amanda/Changer.

Was there something else I needed to do?
