Jay,
It looks to me like you label doesn't match.
Your label: ARCHIVE-10-14-2001
^ look here.
You label string: ARCHIVE-[0-9][1-9]-[0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]
^ looks like it doesn't want a zero in this
field

Subject: amtape: flaky false "label doesn't match labelstr" errors
Amanda 2.4.2p2, on sparc Solaris 2.6.
This just started happening on an Amanda config that has been running
stably for months.
The config has a labelstr of:
labelstr "^ARCHIVE-[0-9][1-9]-[0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]$"
For some (random?) values of label, amlabel returns:
% sudo su - amanda -c "amlabel ARCHIVE ARCHIVE-10-14-2001"
amlabel: label ARCHIVE-10-14-2001 doesn't match labelstr
"^ARCHIVE-[0-9][1-9]-[0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]$"
% sudo su - amanda -c "amlabel ARCHIVE ARCHIVE-10-16-2001"
amlabel: label ARCHIVE-10-16-2001 doesn't match labelstr
"^ARCHIVE-[0-9][1-9]-[0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]$"
This has nothing to do with the tape itself, of course, it's just
amlabel checking it's command line args with:
labelstr = getconf_str(CNF_LABELSTR);
if(!match(labelstr, label))
error("label %s doesn't match labelstr \"%s\"", label, labelstr);
So it seems to be something down inside match() that's going awry.
Other (random?) values of label work just fine (and have been for months):
% sudo su - amanda -c "amlabel ARCHIVE ARCHIVE-07-04-2001"
rewinding, reading label ARCHIVE-09-30-2001
rewinding, writing label ARCHIVE-07-04-2001, checking label, done.
% sudo su - amanda -c "amlabel ARCHIVE ARCHIVE-12-34-5678"
rewinding, reading label ARCHIVE-07-04-2001
rewinding, writing label ARCHIVE-12-34-5678, checking label, done.
Changing labelstr to something less precise is a workaround:
labelstr "^ARCHIVE-.*"
% sudo su - amanda -c "amlabel ARCHIVE ARCHIVE-10-16-2001"
rewinding, reading label ARCHIVE-12-34-5678
rewinding, writing label ARCHIVE-10-17-2001, checking label, done.
I don't see anything in the mailing list archives. I'm ok with the
simpler labelstr for the moment, but it makes me a little nervous that
match() might fail on me w/o warning in the future.
Anybody ever seen anything similar?
