Jean-Louis,
$ amtape Weekly1-library1 inventory
…
slot 16: unknown state barcode CA0017
[amandabackup@ca-server10 ~]$ amlabel Weekly1-library1 slot 16
Reading label...
Slot 16, label 'Weekly1-library1-CA0014', mismatch barcode between changer
'CA0017' and tapelist file 'CA0014'
I confirmed in the library’s management interface that CA0017 is the tape
loaded into the drive.
In the past, I delete tapelist and /var/amanda/chg-robot-dev-changer, delete
the contents of the state folder, and then add back some tapes using amlabel.
After this, the first few dumps work. Am I making any mistakes and leaving
some old, bad data behind? Maybe I’m not cleaning up some old, bad data
correctly.
I’ll send debug files via separate e-mail.
