I don't know what I did, but after a weekend of doing nothing, amcheck and
amdump sees the tape in the drive.
I am still having the 'request timed out' error..
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
/holding/amanda: 8367536 KB disk space available, using 8316336 KB.
ERROR: cannot overwrite active tape DailySet11.
(expecting a new tape)
NOTE: skipping tape-writable test.
Server check took 26.024 seconds.
protocol packet receive: Connection refused
protocol packet receive: Connection refused
protocol packet receive: Connection refused
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
WARNING: shiva.soltec.net: selfcheck request timed out. Host down?
Client check: 1 host checked in 30.017 seconds, 1 problem found.
(brought to you by Amanda 2.4.1p1)
The "ERROR: cannot overwrite active tape DailySet11." can be ignored, but
the "protocol packet receive: Connection refused" is my problem. Also the
WARNING message under client hosts check.. but they are related.
I don't know where to go from here.. John mentioned looking in my OS's
(slackware 7.1 dist of linux) documentation. I guess i will try that out.
