Tom,
You can define the block size as the BLOCK-SIZE device property in the
changer section or in the tapetype, the device-property is used if it is
set.
You can define the read_block_size as the READ-BLOCK-SIZE device
property in the changer section or in the tapetype, the device-property
is used if it is set.
The problem is the tape is already written with a block larger than 2048k.
dd if=/dev/rmt/0bn bs=512m count=1 of=/dev/null
should print the size of the block (if <= 512m)
You can increase the value of the READ-BLOCK-SIZE device property, the
readblocksize tapetype setting or simply use the '-f' flag of amlabel:
amlabel -f weekly weekly00 slot 1

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
