I'm having trouble with labelling my tape on a Seagate STT20000A (using
Travan 20GB tapes). Example below. Have tried /dev/nht0 as per FAQ with
same results.
My OS is RedHat 7.2 and RPM's installed are: amanda-server-2.4.2p2-4,
amanda-devel-2.4.2p2-4, amanda-2.4.2p2-4, amanda-client-2.4.2p2-4
What am I missing?
Have set my tapetpye in /etc/amanda/iogta/amanda.conf to;
runtapes 1 # number of tapes to be used in a single run of
amdump
tapedev "/dev/ht0" # the no-rewind tape device to be used
tapetype STT20000A # what kind of tape it is (see tapetypes
below)
labelstr "^Tape[0-9][0-9]*$" # label constraint regex: all tapes must
match
define tapetype STT20000A {
comment "just produced by tapetype program"
length 9500 mbytes
filemark 103 kbytes
speed 914 kbytes
}
$ /usr/sbin/amlabel iogta Tape1
rewinding, reading label, not an amanda tape
rewinding, writing label Tape1, checking label
amlabel: no label found, are you sure /dev/nht0 is non-rewinding?
$ /usr/sbin/amcheck iogta
