It looks like amverify is not rewinding the tape. I ran across the same thing this morning using amrecover to verify that I could restore files. If you use 'mt -f /dev/tape rewind' before amverify, perhaps it will work. I'm using amanda-2.4.2p2.

I've setup Amanda for daily backups. The backup process seems to go fine, but amverify fails restoring as the message below says: Tapes: PROSADAILY04 Errors found: PROSADAILY04 (uranus.prosa.com.__notorius_EXCHANGE$.20030307.0): amrestore: WARNING: not at start of tape, file numbers will be offset amrestore: 0: restoring uranus.prosa.com.__notorius_EXCHANGE$.20030307.0 /bin/tar: Unexpected EOF in archive /bin/tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now 64+0 records in 64+0 records out amverify ProsaDaily Fri Mar 14 01:56:21 CET 2003 Using device /dev/nst0 Volume PROSADAILY04, Date 20030307 Checked uranus.prosa.com.__janis_PROGETTISEMA$.20030307.1 Checked uranus.prosa.com.__janis_deplProgetti.20030307.1 Checked uranus.prosa.com.__janis_XEDAT98.20030307.1 Checked uranus.prosa.com.__janis_Documenti.20030307.1 Checked uranus.prosa.com.__janis_Progetti.20030307.0 ** Error detected (uranus.prosa.com.__notorius_EXCHANGE$.20030307.0) amrestore: WARNING: not at start of tape, file numbers will be offset amrestore: 0: restoring uranus.prosa.com.__notorius_EXCHANGE$.20030307.0 /bin/tar: Unexpected EOF in archive /bin/tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now 64+0 records in 64+0 records out End-of-Tape detected. Can anyone help me? I've searched through Google and yahoo-groups but nobody seems to had my same problem! It's strange because I don't get any other error between the amrestore and tar output...
