Today my amdump failed due to:
*** A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [reading label: Input/output error].
I got the same error trying to read the first block on the tape using
dd. So I tried doing:
mt setblk 0
It fixed the problem!
My question is:
. Does amanda have a means to indicate that setblk 0 must be set before
running?
I don't know how it got "unset" (I did not reboot) but the previous 10 days
it has been running without a problem and this just happened with no
identifiable cause.
Do I need to have cron run "mt setblk 0" each time before it starts
amdump?
Thanks,
Dick
