This looks like a problem with chg-compat, which is how this script is invoking chg-zd-mtx (which, in turn, invokes amdevcheck). Can you attach the amvault debug log? > These are brand new tapes nothing on them, I even dd /dev/zero to the > first 10 MB to make sure they were zeroed out. This one is for real, though. We acted out of an abundance of caution, hoping to absolutely avoid overwriting existing tapes, and it turned out we were waaay too careful. You can fix this easily by editing the script. Look for "is not empty; going to next slot" and delete that entire stanza. Unfortunately, amvault has been the bastard step-child so far, and it didn't get much more love in the upcoming release (which has already branched -- we'll have a beta release shortly). It's certainly ripe for hacking, though! Dustin -- Open Source Storage Engineer http://www.zmanda.com
