Hi,
I'm wondering if this is a known-problem?
We have two tape drives configured for taper-parallel-write, but
actually there is only tape produced daily.
I'm using amanda-backup_server-3.3.1.svn.4677-1.rhel6.x86_64 with a
patch from Jean-Luis (see below).
There was a protected tape (by mistake) inserted into the tape drive.
"amcheck -t Daily" did not warn, that the coming tape had been
write-protected, so we missed the nagios alarm.
Amanda backed up successfully and it reported, that the backup was to
tape Daily-24.
This has been repeated for a few days, when I spot it's re-using the
same tape.
Question 1: would it be useful for amcheck -t to do a protected tape
check too?
Question 2: Why amanda taper did not abort when it saw a protected tape?
Is it because the patch?
Any hints appreciated.
Thanks,
Attila
