I/O-error on DELL powervault 120DLT
Hello,
I am using amanda-2.4.2p2 on a dell powervault 120 DLT7000. When I try
to label a tape in slot 2-6 , the folowing message appears:
[root@localhost wiss-staff_daily]# su - amanda -c/usr/sbin/amlabel -f
wiss-staff_daily wiss-staff_daily02 slot 2
labeling tape in slot 2 (/dev/nst0):
rewinding, reading label, reading label: Input/output error
rewinding, writing label wiss-staff_daily02, checking label
amlabel: reading label: Input/output error
and this takes a lot of time.
On the other hand, if I try to label the tape in slot 1:
[root@localhost wiss-staff_daily]# su - amanda -c/usr/sbin/amlabel -f
wiss-staff_daily wiss-staff_daily01 slot 1
labeling tape in slot 1 (/dev/nst0):
rewinding, reading label, not an amanda tape
rewinding, writing label wiss-staff_daily01, checking label
amlabel: no label found, are you sure /dev/nst0 is non-rewinding?
My tapetype section in amanda.conf looks like this:
define tapetype DLT-IV{
comment DLT-IV tape drivers
length 35000 mbytes
filemark 8 kbytes
speed 5000 kbytes
}
and I use the chg-csee-mtx changer script.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Changer script for DLT7000 / DELL powervault 120T
Hello, A few months ago Chris Pasoe posted a changer script called chg-csee-mtx that should work with a DELL powervault 120T. However, I do not have this file any more and it cannot be downloaded from http://groups.yahoo.com/group/amanda-users/message/28607 (the attachment put here is empty) Could anybody please send me this script (or a revised version of it) Thanks in advance, Bram.
