Hi - I know it's probably rude to subscribe to the list and then immediately
ask a question, but I'm stumped and haven't been able to find any solution in
the list archives or on the wiki. I am running Amanda 3.3.2 on CentOS 6 with a
Dell PowerVault 124T tape changer (and LTO-4 tapes). I am trying to implement a
disk->disk->tape backup scheme where Amanda regularly dumps to virtual tapes
and I then run amvault periodically to write some of those backups to physical
tape for archiving.
The setup seems to work fine until I get to the amvault phase. When it becomes
time for amanda to load a second tape, I'm getting a fatal error like this:
amvault: Amanda::Recovery::Clerk: reading file 8 on 'EECS-07'
amvault: empty write to tape; treating as LEOM early warning and retrying
amvault: Cancelling <Xfer@0x2d80bd0 (<XferSourceRecovery@0x2d938b0> ->
<XferDestTaperSplitter@0x2d9a0c0>)>
amvault: failure: transfer failed: No space left on device, splitting not
enabled
amvault: quitting scribe..
amvault: quitting scribe..

I've tried to play with the changer definition, specifically trying to increase
some timeouts:
define changer robot {
tpchanger "chg-robot:/dev/sg14"
property "tape-device" "0=/dev/nst0"
property "load-poll" "20s poll 5s"
property "unload-delay" "20s"
device-property "LEOM" "TRUE"
}
Surprisingly, LEOM should've warned Amanda that the tape was about to run out,
yet it still tried to write the file? I used the following tapetype, generated
by an amtapetype run:
define tapetype DellPV124-DLT4 {
comment "Created by amtapetype; compression disabled"
length 824601472 kbytes
filemark 0 kbytes
speed 97034 kps
blocksize 32 kbytes
lbl-templ "/var/lib/amanda/example/label-templates"
}
I'd really appreciate any suggestions or hints.
