Joshua, That would have been our interpretation except for one message that we aren't used to seeing in those circumstances. I'd have taken ALL DUMPS TO HOLDING DISK to normally mean just that, usually an indication that we didn't swap tapes or for some reason it didn't mount correctly.

I thought I'd reply to my own e-mail, since I fixed the problem. xfsdump assumes that xfsdq is in the path. xfsdq is in the path, but really only the root user path. Since Amanda runs as a non-root user, even with a setuid app, it inherits the regular user path. Therefore, if xfsdq is in /sbin,

Out of tape really means out of tape. Appends are really unlikely, as AMANDA starts the tape write with a rewind followed by a write. No seek, no foul, no append. (Unless you have the append patch.) Is it possible you have hardware compression turned on? This can cause problems if you also use

AFAIK, AMANDA never formats tapes. They are rewritten from block 1, but not formatted or retensioned. If you keep all your old backup reports, you can figure out how many times a tape has been used, and replace it when the time comes. If you'd like to add tape aging features to the software,
