Hello everyone, When I attempt to use amlabel to label a tape on a Tandberg/Quantum SDLT 220, it produces the following error:
[amanda@Jupiter amanda]$ amlabel -f DailySet1 DailySet100 rewinding, reading label, reading label: Value too large for defined data type rewinding, writing label DailySet100, checking label amlabel: reading label: Value too large for defined data type On the same tape, (after a mt rewind), I attempted a dump/restore check to the same tape on the same drive: [root@Jupiter amanda]# dump -0u -a -f /dev/nst0 -L "Jupiter:/" / DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Tue Jan 28 11:56:00 2003 DUMP: Dumping /dev/sda5 (/) to /dev/nst0 DUMP: Added inode 7 to exclude list (resize inode) DUMP: Label: Jupiter:/ DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files] DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories] DUMP: estimated 81489 tape blocks.

[root@Jupiter amanda]# mt rewind Then, i went back to the amanda user, and attempted amlabel and got the same results: [amanda@Jupiter amanda]$ amlabel -f DailySet1 DailySet100 rewinding, reading label, reading label: Value too large for defined data type rewinding, writing label DailySet100, checking label amlabel: reading label: Value too large for defined data type Just to be sure, the amanda:backup user has read/write access to /dev/nst0: [amanda@Jupiter amanda]$ ls -l /dev/tape /dev/nst0 crw-rw---- 1 root backup 9, 128 Apr 11 2002 /dev/nst0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Jan 3 12:34 /dev/tape -> nst0 ...and the tape definition that I use for the SDLT 220 is: tapetype SDLT220 # what kind of tape it is (see tapetypes below) define tapetype SDLT220 { comment "Tandberg SDLT-220" length 96868 mbytes filemark 0 kbytes speed 9142 kps } Does anyone have any ideas? I've tried google searching to no avail... Thanks in advance for all of your help, Tim Souder [EMAIL PROTECTED]
