Hi all
I am facing problems with the tapes. Everytime I try to run amcheck,amverify or amdump it says its expecting a new tape. Here are the results it puts out when I run amcheck
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
Holding disk /home/amanda: 29635568 KB disk space available, that's plenty
ERROR: /dev/nst0: reading label: Input/output error
(expecting a new tape)
NOTE: skipping tape-writable test
Server check took 0.016 seconds
I strongly believe that the amanda.conf you send is not the one that is used! Or you changed it very recently.
From your amanda.conf:
> tapedev "/dev/st0"
This is wrong: it is the rewinding device, and if I remember correctly I pointed out this and other errors in your amanda.conf a few weeks ago:

But the amcheck above says it uses /dev/nst0, so assume that the current amanda.conf is a different one...
It could be that by using the rewinding device, you accidently overwrote the label. Was this what happened?
