I've manually created a tapelist file looking like this:
20061201 ORBnet00 reuse
20061202 ORBnet01 reuse
...
20061208 ORBnet07 reuse
and so on up to the 8th tape (ORBnet07) in the array (9th slot is empty)
to try and force Amanda to realise that the tapes are all present and
available to be re-used. The old tapelist file from when I used to run
Amanda on the system using an older tape array disappeared at one time for
some reason.
Running 'amtape ORBnet taper' produced a 'changer problem: no slot
available' error, and also produced 'amtape: label Segmentation fault
(core dumped)'.
So that might indicate a problem not entirely related to Amanda's
operation, but one which the 2.5.2 version fixes (the tape server host
system has 2.5.1 on it).
In amanda.conf I have dumpcycle set to 7, runspercycle set to 7, and
tapecycle set to 8 which should in theory be correct.
Regards,
Craig.
