Hi after 2 years of struggling with this crap and getting no where, can anyone help me figure out what is causing these errors.
it seems to be random doesn't matter which tape or drive I use they all do it. even changing machine and scsi controllers doesn't fix the problem. is it something I'm doing wrong. after playing with another tape backup product I found that it used a block size of 4096 for my tape drive (not 0 like everyone keeps telling me to use), so I changed to this and it seems to have made amverify fail less, but hasn't fixed the problem all together. thanks ----- Forwarded message from backup <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- > Date: Wed, 5 Dec 2001 17:35:36 +1100 > From: backup <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: MonthlySet1 AMANDA VERIFY REPORT FOR MonthlySet101 MonthlySet102 > > Tapes: MonthlySet101 MonthlySet102 > Errors found: > MonthlySet102 (apophos.tsa._apophos.20011203.0): > amrestore: WARNING: not at start of tape, file numbers will be offset > amrestore: 0: restoring apophos.tsa._apophos.20011203.0 > /bin/tar: Skipping to next header > /bin/tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors > 64+0 records in > 64+0 records out > MonthlySet102 (hathor.tsa._hathor_projects1.20011203.0): > amrestore: WARNING: not at start of tape, file numbers will be offset > amrestore: 0: restoring hathor.tsa._hathor_projects1.20011203.0 > amrestore: read error: Input/output error > /bin/tar: Unexpected EOF in archive > /bin/tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now > 64+0 records in > 64+0 records out > MonthlySet102 (): > amrestore: error reading file header: Input/output error > ** No header > 0+0 records in > 0+0 records out > MonthlySet102 (): > amrestore: error reading file header: Input/output error > ** No header > 0+0 records in > 0+0 records out > MonthlySet102 (): > amrestore: error reading file header: Input/output error > ** No header > 0+0 records in > 0+0 records out > MonthlySet102 (): > amrestore: error reading file header: Input/output error > ** No header > 0+0 records in > 0+0 records out > > amverify MonthlySet1 > Wed Dec 5 15:06:40 EST 2001 > > Loading current slot... > Using device /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target15/lun0/mtn > Volume MonthlySet101, Date 20011205 > Checked set.ext.tsa._etc.20011205.0 > Checked sobek.tsa._etc.20011205.0 > Checked imhotep.ext.tsa._etc.20011205.0 > Checked bart.tsa._home.20011205.0 > Checked sothis.tsa._sothis_projects1.20011205.0 > Checked sothis.tsa._etc.20011205.0 > Checked sobek.tsa._sobek.20011205.0 > Checked sothis.tsa._sothis_projects3.20011205.0 > Checked imhotep.ext.tsa._imhotep.20011205.0 > Checked set.ext.tsa._mnt_hdc1.20011205.0 > End-of-Tape detected. > Loading next slot... > Using device /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target15/lun0/mtn > Volume MonthlySet102, Date 20011203 > Checked hathor.tsa._hathor_httpd.20011203.0 > ** Error detected (apophos.tsa._apophos.20011203.0) > amrestore: WARNING: not at start of tape, file numbers will be offset > amrestore: 0: restoring apophos.tsa._apophos.20011203.0 > /bin/tar: Skipping to next header > /bin/tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors > 64+0 records in > 64+0 records out > Checked sothis.tsa._sothis_projects1.20011203.0 > Checked hathor.tsa._hathor_projects4.20011203.0 > ** Error detected (hathor.tsa._hathor_projects1.20011203.0) > amrestore: WARNING: not at start of tape, file numbers will be offset > amrestore: 0: restoring hathor.tsa._hathor_projects1.20011203.0 > amrestore: read error: Input/output error > /bin/tar: Unexpected EOF in archive > /bin/tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now > 64+0 records in > 64+0 records out > ** Error detected () > amrestore: error reading file header: Input/output error > ** No header > 0+0 records in > 0+0 records out > ** Error detected () > amrestore: error reading file header: Input/output error > ** No header > 0+0 records in > 0+0 records out > ** Error detected () > amrestore: error reading file header: Input/output error > ** No header > 0+0 records in > 0+0 records out > ** Error detected () > amrestore: error reading file header: Input/output error > ** No header > 0+0 records in > 0+0 records out > Too many errors. > Loading next slot... > Using device /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target15/lun0/mtn > Volume MonthlySet103, Date X > Fresh tape.
