Could someone please help me with a little advice on the interpretation
of the attached Amanda log? I have been receiving this error for the
second day in a row now.
The line:

  souterrain sda3 lev 2 FAILED [out of tape]

made me think that my backup volume was larger than my tape.
But the total output size seems to be only 182M (on a DDS2 drive).
The second thing that comes to mind is that the tape is a gonner.
On my console I find odd messages like:

  st0: Error with sense data: Info fld=0x41,
  Current st09:00: sns = f0 3
  ASC= c ASCQ= 0
  Raw sense data: -load of crap-

does this mean that my tape drive is gone?

In fact, this has happened a few times in the past, and made me replace
the particular tape. But because it now is the second consecutive time,
I would like to know what is going on.

Any pointers much welcomed!
