I have been busily backing up my home network which is about 5 linux/bsd systems onto an ecrix vxa tape drive. I finally got these errors this evening on a bup tape:
*** A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [cannot overwrite active tape BUP2]. Some dumps may have been left in the holding disk. Run amflush to flush them to tape. The next tape Amanda expects to use is: BUP3. FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY: www hda2 lev 0 FAILED [disk hda2 offline on www?] www hda1 lev 0 FAILED [disk hda1 offline on www?] mperry hda2 lev 2 FAILED [no more holding disk space] I understand the issue with "www". I did not install dump on this system before running the backup. How do I correct the tape error above? As far as holding disk space goes, I have a whole bunch left and amcheck reports that I have over 35g of space left which is plenty. I now have cycled to bup3 which is next in line for backup. I corrected the issue with 'www" and the lack of dump on that system. I don't quite understand how to deal with the tape error about overwriting active tape bup2 above.
