Hi all,
We've been running an install of 2.6.0p2 for the last year or so, on RHEL 5 x64, connecting to a 4-drive LTO4 library over fibre channel. The library is partitioned, 2 drives per partition, with Amanda having visibility and zoning to half of the drives. In addition, we're running Enterprise Key Management software on a separate host, to manage the encryption keys for the LTO4 on-drive encryption over the network. Once tapes have been dumped to, they are sent off-site for a 6-month period. The problem that I've been experiencing is that, occasionally, we'll get a tape back from storage, and it won't have a label on the tape header all of a sudden. It's not every tape, it's not in any pattern that I can see, and once the label is re-written, the tape is perfectly usable. The backup software that uses the other half of the library (proprietary, Windows-based... ptoo!) does not have this issue. Therefore, I'm wondering what in Amanda could be causing this to happen. Any suggestions as to what to check/test? Thanks in advance for your assistance.
