NAME¶

amdevcheck - Validate an Amanda device and volume.

SYNOPSIS¶

amdevcheck config [device name] [-o configoption]...

DESCRIPTION¶

Amdevcheck provides a way to check that a particular Amanda device is accessible, whether or not it contains a volume, and whether or not that volume is labeled. Some devices can´t distinguish between all of these cases; a missing volume and an unlabeled volume might generate the same error code, for example. In those cases, this tool reports all possible causes of the error.

See the amanda(8) man page for more details about Amanda. See amanda-devices(7) for more information on devices.

OPTIONS¶

config

device

-o clientconfigoption

OUTPUT¶

Amdevcheck returns one or more of the following lines. If multiple lines appear, then at least one, but not necessarily all of the messages apply. This situation can occur when working with hardware or operating systems which cannot distinguish, for example, between a malfunctioning drive and a functional but unloaded drive.

DEVICE_ERROR

DEVICE_BUSY

VOLUME_MISSING
