Hi! I have problem with ontape on IDS7.3 on 2 processor Linux 2.2.14 RH6.1. Continuos backup of log files (ontape -c to /dev/null) dies unexpectedly. It runs o.k.for some amount time (hours) and then just vanishes without any (known?) particular reason. Thanx, Damijan

Hi, IDS 7.30 is not supported for SMP linux. There are quite a lot of troubles on SMP systems. ontape does not work correctly, there are locking problems and other hassles. Maybe IDS 2000 is certified for SMP systems on Linux. I did not check, yet.
