Greetings,
I'm running amanda on a Redhat 7.2 server using the
hard disk as backup repository; Recently we bougth a
Benchmark DLT1 tape unit and Linux was able to detect
it with no problems (also i created a sepparate
configuration for the new tape unit). I run the
tapetype program and got the following setup for the
tape unit:
define tapetype DLT1 {
comment "BENCHMARK DLT1 tape unit"
length 34618 mbytes
filemark 21 kbytes
speed 1395 kbytes
}
(i added this definition to my amanda.conf file; But
when i try to label the tape i got the following
error:
[amanda@linux0107 amanda]$ amlabel NEWBREAK_TAPE
NEWBREAK_TAPE01
rewinding, reading label, reading label: Value too
large for defined data type
rewinding, writing label NEWBREAK_TAPE01, checking
label
amlabel: reading label: Value too large for defined
data type
Here is my amanda build version:
[amanda@linux0107 amanda]$ amadmin NEWBREAK_TAPE

I'm using the /dev/nst0 device (no rewind) on my
amanda.conf configuration.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
PD: the amanda server is working just fine with the
disk configuration.
