NAME
amdevcheck - Validate an Amanda device and volume.SYNOPSIS
amdevcheck
[--label] [-properties list]
[-o configoption...] config
[device-name]
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. Optionally this tools lists the properties for the device. See the amanda(8) man page for more details about Amanda. See amanda-devices(7) for more information on devices.OPTIONS

amdevcheck ignores any tape changer configuration.

is printed to stdout. Returns with error if the label is not found.

given, the usual check output is omitted, and property values are printed to
