AMDEVCHECK(8) System Administration Commands AMDEVCHECK(8)NAMEamdevcheck - Validate an Amanda device and volume.
SYNOPSISamdevcheck 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 canĀ“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
Amanda configuration to use. Note that amdevcheck ignores any tape
changer configuration.
device
Amanda device to use. This option overrides any tapedev
configuration specified in the configuration file.
-o clientconfigoption
See the "CONFIGURATION OVERRIDE" section in amanda(8).
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.

A device error has occurred.
DEVICE_BUSY

VOLUME_MISSING
No tape is loaded in the drive.
