Is a system message, it is due to /dev/st0 and the emulation EDI/SCSI,
not due to Amanda.
I know SCSI is complicated enought, I would not trust such edi/scsi
emulation. And certainly not if it comes as a new feature on a free
Unix for intel.
I would by any mean try to work on the native IDE device. One issue
that can be is the number of EOF mark at the end of each file. Some
tape device insist on one mark, some on 2 marks. And a wrong number
does strange things when trying to put multiple files on a tape (AKA
using non-rewinding).
That COULD be a dirction to search, but in any case, you'll have to
make your hands dirty and do some device editing/compiling...
Do you have the command (may be a FreeBSD specific):
mt -f /dev/ht0 geteotmodel
