Hi I installed Amanda-2.4.4 on Red Hat Linux release 8.0. with the config: dumpcycle 1 week, runspercycle 5, tapecycle 20 tapes When i first started to use Amanda everything worked out fine, exept for a few minor errors that I solved. After about 2-3 weeks I suddenly recieved tape errors (Amanda could not write to tape) saying: [EMAIL PROTECTED] server]$ ammt status -f /dev/nst0 /dev/nst0 status: ONLINE BOT PROTECTED
When I checked he tape was NOT protected... and I could not get it to work (I even tryed new tapes) I protected the tape and put it in the drive, I ejected the tape and removed the protection and put the tape in the drive a second time, then it worked, saying: [EMAIL PROTECTED] server]$ ammt status -f /dev/nst0 /dev/nst0 status: ONLINE BOT I ran the backup for about another week (doing the procedure obove for allmost every second tape) but suddenly I recieved another error saying: ERROR: /dev/nst0: reading label: Input/output error: I then had to relabel the tapes for Amanda to be able to use the tapes, and sometimes I had to both relabel the tape and do the procedure mentioned above to couse Amanda said the tape was write protected even it was'nt Anyone have a clue for solving this "funny" problem ???
