Hi all,
Thanks for all the helps before, exclusion list works for me now. I am
using the file-driver mechanism for the tape, the configuration follows
ch. 13 in the manual. I have a recurring problem, sometimes the tapes
are in a strange stage. This is the output of amcheck:
$ amcheck DailySet1

Slot 1 was labeled properly before, but somehow, it has nothing in the
directory. What could have caused this? How should I fix this, the
proper way? I tried to remove the tape from the tapelist by removing the
entries in the tapelist and relabeled the directory "slot1". That
resulted in different problem.
Thanks,
Kuas.
