Hi,
I have this constant recurrant error, that every day the amcheck is
failing just after a succesfull amdump.
I get the following result:
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
Holding disk /amanda2/amanda/work: 985384 KB disk space available,
that's plenty
ERROR: /dev/nrst0: not an amanda tape
(expecting tape DailySet109 or a new tape)
NOTE: skipping tape-writable test
Server check took 26.064 seconds
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
Client check: 1 host checked in 0.091 seconds, 0 problems found
(brought to you by Amanda 2.4.2p2)
So I have to run "amlabel -f" every day !!!!
I did check that the tape is correct before is is dued to be used:
for instance the day before tape "DailySet109" is dued I run amcheck and
get the following:
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
Holding disk /amanda2/amanda/work: 985386 KB disk space available,
that's plenty
ERROR: cannot overwrite active tape DailySet109
(expecting tape DailySet108 or a new tape)
NOTE: skipping tape-writable test
Server check took 12.548 seconds
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
Client check: 1 host checked in 0.059 seconds, 0 problems found
(brought to you by Amanda 2.4.2p2)
So it is a bit like if the amcheck tool ran from the cronjob was
"erasing" the tape ???
Can someone help ?
Thanks Pat.
