Hello Amanda users,
I had the jukebox I use on one of my SGI/IRIX Amanda servers fail
and we reverted to the attached standalone SDLT 220.
I modified amanda.conf to use the different tape drive and to
not use any changer config.
I was able to label (one/day) a few tapes (and write them that evening),
but I'm having difficulty with subsequent tapes.
samar 8# /usr/local/sbin/amlabel -f samar SAMAR30
rewinding, reading label, reading label: Invalid argument
rewinding, writing label SAMAR30
amlabel: writing label: Invalid argument
I am running the amanda server 2.4.4p1-20030716
on IRIX 6.5.28m.
I've checked the tapes, they are labeled as proper for the
SDLT 220 drive, and the first few where ok, nothing has changed
since we started to have failures with the amlabel command.
I've tried resetting the drive (HW reset as well as SW reset), cleaning
it (cleaning light was NOT on), but to no avail.
Any suggestions are welcome,
TIA,
Brian
