Look up http://amanda.sourceforge.net/fom-serve/cache/100.html. You will find that amtapetype generated somewhat smaller values for the length. Before running amtapetype you could just go and try to set length to 32,33,34 GB and see if you still hit EOT. The values given for the capacities of tapes are often theoretical ones. -- best regards, Stefan Stefan G. Weichinger mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
