I am using: Amanda 2.4.3 Slackware Linux 8.0 (2.2.20) kernel External Sony TSL9000 SCSI DAT drive with changer DDS-2 tapes
The first couple times I ran amdump the whole process worked fine. Now, after about a dozen filesystems have been written from the holding disk to tape, the taper process locks up. The tape is under half full at this point. At least today, the next filesystem to be written to tape is fairly large, spaning 3 1GB chunks on the holding disk. A look at the process table shows two taper processes, one of which is in state D, which, I think means that it is waiting for the tape drive to become available. It is almost as if the previous taper process did not exit properly and release the drive. Can anyone tell me what is going on and how to fix it?
