hello,

 I get the following message when restoring one of my
 full dumps with amrestore:

[tape-serveur]# /usr/local/amanda/sbin/amrestore /dev/nst0 planeto
amrestore:   0: skipping start of tape: date 20010502 label TAPE4
amrestore:   1: skipping jupiter._home_zone1.20010502.2
amrestore:   2: skipping jupiter._home_zone2.20010502.1
amrestore:   3: skipping jupiter._home_zone3.20010502.0
amrestore:   4: restoring planeto._home_zone10.20010502.0
amrestore: write error: File too large

The target disk is big enough to handle the whole taped archive.

According to the mail reports, the amount of datas saved 
on this tape is 17.8Gb. I use 20Gb/40Gb DLT Tapes.

Could it be a problem with my tapetype config or with
the tape hardware itself?

Of course, a "tar xvf" on this archive will fail at the
end of file:

[tape-server]#cat planeto._home_zone10.20010502.0 | tar xvf - 
...
tar: 511 garbage bytes ignored at end of archive
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
...

any advice? 
thanks!

Pierre.
