Hi!
Basically, it's about amanda tells me there is no tape but guys from
company that collocation server told me there is a tape loaded. They check
twice. Also, I'm 100% it's not a joke or something like this, but a serios
situation I don't know how to manage.
[root@server /root]# date
Tue Mar 27 10:00:55 EST 2001
[root@server /root]# su amanda -c "amcheck wmw"
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
Holding disk /tmp: 366404 KB disk space available, using 212804 KB
ERROR: /dev/nst0: rewinding tape: No medium found
(expecting tape my_tape_1 or a new tape)
NOTE: skipping tape-writable test
Server check took 30.107 seconds
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
Client check: 1 host checked in 0.017 seconds, 0 problems found
(brought to you by Amanda 2.4.2p1)
But from the company that collocate the server I got right now the
following message:

Hi Radu
We have checked the server.mydomain.com and it has the tape #1 tape in the
drive.
Best regards

I'm located in Romania and server is in State. I've tried to use mt:
[root@server /root]# mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind
/dev/nst0: No medium found
Last backup was performed succesfully on March 24 and until now there was
absolutly no problem with both Amanda and tape.
Tape drive is (from dmesg):
Detected scsi disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
Vendor: OnStream Model: ADR50 Drive Rev: 2.20
Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Also, I checked the /var/messages and I got only this lines:
[root@server /root]# less /var/log/messages.1.gz | grep st0
Mar 20 05:44:29 server2 kernel: st0: Error with sense data: [valid=0] Info
fld=0x0, Current st09:00: sense key Unit Attention
Mar 20 06:09:59 server2 kernel: st0: Error with sense data: [valid=0] Info
fld=0x0, Current st09:00: sense key Unit Attention
but this was *before* my last succesfully backup (March 24):
Subject: MY AMANDA MAIL REPORT FOR March 24, 2001
These dumps were to tape my_tape_3.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: my_tape_1.
My server is an dual Intel PIII/800 Mhz, with RedHat 6.2 and Kernel
2.2.14-5.0smp. Module for st is loaded:
[root@server /root]# lsmod
Module Size Used by
eepro100 16080 1 (autoclean)
st 24656 0
dpt_i2o 97248 5
Please tell what could happen here on my server, what to try and what can
I do in this strange situation.
Thank you in advance,
Radu Filip
