Package: amanda-server Version: 1:3.3.9-5 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
Amanda no longer formats completely blank tapes. Tested with virtual tapes on disk, hence reporting only for virtual tapes. The only way to create a new virtual tape at present is to copy the label file out of an existing virtual tape. This allows amanda to overwrite it and function correctly. $ amlabel AutoSet3 AUTOE05 slot 6 Reading label... /usr/lib/amanda/chg-multi: 96: local: 0: bad variable name Malformed output from changer script -- no output Same after copying label file $ amlabel AutoSet3 AUTOE05 slot 6 Reading label... Volume with label 'AUTOE04' is active and contains data from this configuration. Not writing label. After copying label file with -f $ amlabel -f AutoSet3 AUTOE05 slot 6 Reading label... Volume with label 'AUTOE04' is active and contains data from this configuration. Consider using 'amrmtape' to remove volume 'AUTOE04' from the catalog. Writing label 'AUTOE05'... Checking label...
