Hmm, I'm noticing the command that I was instructed to use to label the
tapes are as follows from http://www.zmanda.com/quick-backup-setup.html
7. Just as with physical tapes, the virtual tapes now need to be
labeled. (Please note that the output below has been truncated.)
bash-3.00$ for ((i=1; $i<=9;i++)); do amlabel DailySet1 DailySet1-0$i
slot $i; done
changer: got exit: 0 str: 1 file://space/vtapes/DailySet1/slots
labeling tape in slot 1 (file://space/vtapes/DailySet1/slots):
rewinding, reading label, not an amanda tape (Read 0 bytes)
rewinding, writing label DailySet1-01, checking label, done.
...
changer: got exit: 0 str: 9 file://space/vtapes/DailySet1/slots
labeling tape in slot 9 (file://space/vtapes/DailySet1/slots):
rewinding, reading label, not an amanda tape (Read 0 bytes)
rewinding, writing label DailySet1-09, checking label, done.
-bash-3.00$ for ((i=10; $i<=25;i++)); do amlabel DailySet1 DailySet1-$i
slot $i; done
changer: got exit: 0 str: 10 file://space/vtapes/DailySet1/slots
labeling tape in slot 10 (file://space/vtapes/DailySet1/slots):

SO I guess that was what was culpable of the initial problem but I think
I might have screwed it up even worse. I noticed that the relabeling
command that was provided in the how-to only had disk 1-9 set for the
labeling and obviously, like a lemming, i simply copy and pasted it from
the manual. Thinking I could fix the problem with the following command:
for ((i=10; $i<=25;i++)); do /usr/sbin/amlabel daily daily-0$i slot $i;
done
Now my amcheck is showing the following
Holding disk /opt/dumps: 1246830 MB disk space available, using 1246730 MB
slot 25: read label `daily-025', date `20091118'

slot 9: read label `daily-09', date `20091116'
slot 10: read label `daily-010', date `X'
NOTE: skipping tape-writable test
Tape daily-010 label ok
Server check took 0.410 seconds
The flush worked but I think I screwed up the labeling of the vtapes in
the process
So should I be concerned about this? Are the tapes alright based on the
results of the relabeling and is incorrect labeling something I should
be concerned about? Any suggestions on my /var/www dump that reports
problems due to files changing?
