Gurus, OS: Redhat 9.0 Kernel: 2.4.20-20.9 Amanda: 2.4.3-4
Offlate my amanda backups are failing due to some problem or other. I really don't know if it is something to do with the tapes or the tape drive or amanda itself. Some of the errors: *** A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [writing label: Read-only file system]. *** A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [[writing file: Input/output error]]. *** A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [reading label: Input/output error]. All these errors occurred within span of approx 15-20 days. When I try to do amflush, nothing happens. amflush just hangs and does nothing [I waited almost close to 4-5 hours before I decided to kill. Tape drive shows no indication of running either]. I tried killing amflush processes and starting it again, but still nothing happens. If some more details or logs are required, please let me know. I'll send it out. But what could be wrong? Maybe tapes? Thanks in advance! Rohit
