hi,

4 months ago I installed amanda 2.4.2p  and it worked fine.
but now I get following strange error:
FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:
localhost  /home/samba/projekte/Laufende lev 0 FAILED [too many taper retries]
NOTES:
taper: tape met053 kb 17996640 fm 21 writing file: No space left on device
taper: retrying localhost:/home/samba/projekte/Laufende.0 on new tape: [writing file: No space left on device]
   

As others have pointed out you hit EOT, probably because you were using hardware 
compression
on already compressed data.
 

taper: tape met055 kb 17488544 fm 1 writing file: Input/output error
taper: retrying localhost:/home/samba/projekte/Laufende.0 on new tape: [writing file: Input/output error]
taper: tape met054 kb 0 fm 0 [OK]
   

Possibly met055 is a bad tape, or you may need to add a sleep in your changer 
script. It
takes awhile for most changers to unload and load a new tape.  I had to add some sleep
time to mine to keep from getting I/O errors trying to read the label while the new
tape was still being loaded.

Thanks for advice.
I added some sleep in my changerscript after unload tape and after load 
tape.
