Yes, after the first fail, it always works. Then several days
later I try switching tapes and it fails again the first time and
always works again after that.
> When is the first time?
The "first time" is Monday morning after I've done a dump to the
holding disk. I do 6 amdumps during the week:
M degraded
T flush to tape
W degraded
Th degraded
F flush to tape
S degraded
