Hi all....
I have been using amanda 2.4.2p2 on my 7.2 RH server for quite some time now
backing up both linux and solaris clients.
Today something strange happened...
a tape that has been in rotation and working properly all of sudden ran out
of space?
The last time I used this tape the stats showed:
These dumps were to tape dailytape03.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: dailytape04.

This time the stats showed:

*** A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [[writing file: No space left on device]].
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: dailytape04.

As you can see my tape size was cut in half all of a sudden. I haven't made
any changes to the configuration or drive...
Maybe it's just a media error...but I wanted to throw it out here just in
case.
Any insight is much appreciated...
Thanks and have a great day. :)
