mcf File

SAM-FS uses a configuration file called the mcf file. We are currently working on a utility to assist in the creation of this file. If you would like a beta version (does not create the entries for disks) then download find_devs. To run the find_devs program:

  1. ensure that all devices have no media mounted.
  2. ensure that libraries have at least one media.
  3. install SAM-FS (if not already installed).
  4. uncompress and untar the find_devs program.
  5. as root, run the find_devs program.
After all the drives have been identified,find_devs will go through the libraries loading each drive in turn. When finished, it will display information about what was discovered and print a mcf file that can be edited to suit your needs (you will need to add the disk entries).
