Amanda::Changer::disk
This changer operates within a root directory, specified in the changer string, which it arranges as follows:
$dir -| |- drive0/ -| | | data -> '../slot4' |- drive1/ -| | | data -> '../slot1' |- data -> slot5 |- slot1/ |- slot2/ |- ... |- slot$n/
The user should create the desired number of slot$n
subdirectories. The
changer will take care of dynamically creating the drives as needed, and track
the current slot using a "data" symlink. This allows use of "file:$dir" as a
device operating on the current slot, although note that it is unlocked.
Drives are dynamically allocated as Amanda applications request access to particular slots. Each drive is represented as a subdirectory containing a 'data' symlink pointing to the "loaded" slot.
See the amanda-changers(7) manpage for usage information.
