Hello there,
I figure my last mail was less than informative - usually not my
style and I apologize.
Anyway, one problem seems to persist and I'm clueless as to what
may cause it.
So, my amanda server is a FreeBSD 4.3 STABLE machine with a
Tandberg MLR1.
amanda is version 2.4.1p1, installed from the ports.
Now, what I do is the following: I try and label a tape and
amlabel appears to do it without any complaints:
$ amlabel Hundert6 Hundert601
rewinding, reading label, not an amanda tape
rewinding, writing label Hundert601, done.
... however, each and every time I try it, amlabel keeps telling
me the tape is not an amanda tape.
Consequently amcheck reports the following:
ERROR: /dev/sa0: not
an amanda tape.
(expecting a new tape)
NOTE: skipping tape-writable test.
Any hint what could be causing this? I wrote the tapetype
description for the MLR1 myself, but in an earlier post someone
said it couldn't be the reason.
Tape label description should match the regexp I used
("^Hundert6[0-9][0-9]*$") - but even if it didn't it should
recognize the tape as an amanda tape, or not?
Any hints?
Bye, Jan
