I have inherited an Amanda backup system at the place I work at. As this system is a remote access only I had a staff member insert new tapes in to the server which is a Solaris 8 using version 2.4.4 writing to a sun L20 using dlt tapes 20/40. This system was working after I took it over but was not being maintained. I have on the system 2 configs daily and monthly backup. After the new tapes went in (I haven't labeled them yet) which are to be used under the monthly backup config in order to find what slot Amanda thought that they were in I ran a "amtape monthly show" since that time when ever any Amanda command is run (not just amtape) I get the following errors written to tape0-status at a great rate of knots and if left unchecked will fill up the file system can anyone point me in the right direction of what is causing the error messages and how to resolve them.
