Excuse my but I have the same problem with an SONY SDX-460V with 40-104 Gb tape (AIT-1 Turbo). I think since last linux update, backup stop working with the same error:
These dumps were to tape DailySet101. *** A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [[writing file: Input/output error]]. Some dumps may have been left in the holding disk. Run amflush to flush them to tape. The next tape Amanda expects to use is: DailySet101. I tried with the cleaning tape but I got the same result. Could be the linux update who began the problem?
