Hi all,

I'm getting this in my kern.log's:

---

This was from an amdump, which failed after 64kb written.

A little bit later, running an amcheck:

Pulled the tape out, plugged it back in, and now its dumping fine. Can anyone make 
sense of this?

BTW is there a way of getting amanda to put level 0's in "degraded mode"? I'd still 
like full dumps when I have to manually run amdump.

Regards,

Brian Jonnes
