Hi, I just install Amanda for the first time and now i want to label my first tape.
I've put a tape in the drive and check the status. It's online and BOT i guess is for Beginning Of Tape !? [root@lux2 log]# mt -f /dev/st0 status SCSI 2 tape drive: File number=0, block number=0, partition=0. Tape block size 0 bytes. Density code 0x13 (DDS (61000 bpi)). Soft error count since last status=0 General status bits on (41010000): BOT ONLINE IM_REP_EN So i ran: [root@lux2 log]# su Amanda -c "amlabel DailySet1 CS400" and got the following errors in syslog: kernel: st0: Error with sense data: Info fld=0x2, Current st09:00: sense key Medium Error kernel: Additional sense indicates Write error kernel: st0: Error on write filemark. and kernel: st0: Error with sense data: Info fld=0x8000, Current st09:00: sense key Medium Error kernel: Additional sense indicates Sequential positioning error on the command line: su amanda -c "amlabel DailySet1 CS400" rewinding, reading label, reading label: Cannot allocate memory rewinding, writing label CS400, checking label amlabel: reading label: Input/output error Anybody had that problem before ? Does it mean that my tape drive is bad ? (Mandrake 8.2, Amanda-2.4.3, HP Jetstore 5000 (HP35480A), Adaptec 2940UW) Thanks, JP jp at msfree dot ca -- Thanks, JP jp at msfree dot ca
