Hi. I'm trying to amlabel my Travan5 tape in my Linux 2.2.14-5.0
machine but i get: "insert tape into slot and press return" in a
loop. Taking the tape out and putting it back in doesn't help.
Pressing return just repeats the message.
The exact command i'm using is:
/usr/local/sbin/amlabel Dell-Full Dell-Full010430.
More info:
# cat /tmp/amanda/amlabel.20010430202942.debug shows:
amlabel: debug 1 pid 9561 ruid 507 euid 507 start time Mon Apr 30
20:29:42 2001
# tail /tmp/amanda/changer.debug shows:
-> rewind /dev/nht0
-> status /dev/nht0
Unknown tape drive type (type code 0)
File number=0, block number=0.
mt_resid: 0, mt_erreg: 0x0
mt_dsreg: 0x200, mt_gstat: 0x0
General status bits on (0):
-> loaded <>
-> rewind /dev/nht0
The tape, drive, and /dev/ht0 are known to work, with tar.
Suggestions? Thanks alot,
george herson
p.s. I had been trying to post this via
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/amanda-users/ 's web interface last night
and this morning but i still haven't seen it appear there, so hopefully
this isn't a repeated post. If it is, i apologize.
