Every so often, I'll run the following command to quickly see which amanda tape is currently in my tape drive:
# dd if=/dev/nst0 bs=32k Most of the time, I'll get the header information, but every so often I have to run the command twice for the system to successfully read the tape. i.e.: bash$ dd if=/dev/tape bs=32k 0+0 records in 0+0 records out bash$ dd if=/dev/tape bs=32k AMANDA: TAPESTART DATE 20180319 TAPE SIMNET-02 1+0 records in 1+0 records out Any idea why this happens? -Rob
