Amanda 3.3.3
OmniOS (OpenSolaris derivative)

Hi,

I've got an IBM TS3200 robot working with mtx. The raw mtx command sees the 
robot and tapes OK but
when I use amtape I get a 'block size too small' error.

The amlabel command also fails with:

$ amlabel weekly weekly00 slot 1
Reading label...
Error reading volume label: Error reading Amanda header: block size too small
Not writing label.

In amanda.conf I adjusted the blocksize and readblocksize but amanda is still 
not satisfied.

Which blocksize is amanda unhappy about and where can I successfully adjust the 
settings?

Kind regards,
Tom

in amanda.conf:

define changer robot {
        tpchanger "chg-robot:/dev/scsi/changer/c1t5000E11156304003d1"
        property "tape-device" "0=tape:/dev/rmt/0bn"

        property "use-slots" "1-23"
        device-property "BLOCK_SIZE" "2048k"
}
tapedev "robot"
