Hello,
I am using amanda-2.4.2p2 on a dell powervault 120 DLT7000. When I try
to label a tape in slot 2-6 , the folowing message appears:
[root@localhost wiss-staff_daily]# su - amanda -c"/usr/sbin/amlabel -f
wiss-staff_daily wiss-staff_daily02 slot 2"
labeling tape in slot 2 (/dev/nst0):
rewinding, reading label, reading label: Input/output error
rewinding, writing label wiss-staff_daily02, checking label
amlabel: reading label: Input/output error
and this takes a lot of time.
On the other hand, if I try to label the tape in slot 1:
[root@localhost wiss-staff_daily]# su - amanda -c"/usr/sbin/amlabel -f
wiss-staff_daily wiss-staff_daily01 slot 1"
labeling tape in slot 1 (/dev/nst0):
rewinding, reading label, not an amanda tape
rewinding, writing label wiss-staff_daily01, checking label
amlabel: no label found, are you sure /dev/nst0 is non-rewinding?
My tapetype section in amanda.conf looks like this:
define tapetype DLT-IV{
comment "DLT-IV tape drivers"
length 35000 mbytes
filemark 8 kbytes
speed 5000 kbytes
}
and I use the chg-csee-mtx changer script.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Bram.
