Title: reading tapes
Sorry if this has been answered before (I'm sure it has) but it so genreral I can't find it in the archives.
I started a dump of all disks to tape last night. Runtapes is set to 2. Filesystems dumped to the first tape just fine, then the changer loaded up the second one.

Hello
I am trying to get the Amanda client working on a FreeBSD4 box. I
installed 2.4.2p1 (and also p2 in trying to resolve this). I run the
dump, and get two different errors on two boxes:
FAILED AND STRANGE DUMP DETAILS:
/-- aragorn.sh /dev/da0s1a lev 0 FAILED [/usr/bin/tar returned 1]

I compiled amanda...tried rpm but something strange happened. (Can't
remember what now)
Actually when I checked my /etc/passwd file $HOME for amanda was set to
/var/lib/amanda, so I changed it to /home/amanda. The entry in passwd now
looks like this:
amanda:x:33:6:Amanda user:/home/amanda:/bin/ba

a host named "no-such-host", this will cause amrestore to scan the
entire tape looking for a non-existent file. As it goes merrily on its
way, it'll print out interesting stuff, including a list of the files that
are actually on the tape. Something like this:

This probably means that the home directory of the amanda user is

Rick,
For what it's worth, I just used gcc and other GNU tools such as automake,
autoconf, etc. Amanda compiled and works fine using these tools. You can
get them from IBM at the following address:

Check your system logs.
If you think there's an I/O error reading the dump file, I'd
suggest
dd if=/your/dump/file of=/dev/null
which should elicit a similar error while trying to read your
whole file.
I'd also suggest your favorite disk utility. On Linux that'd be
"badblocks" which can be
le:
dd if=/home/amanda/20010829/bertha._usr2.1 of=/dev/null bs=32k
Check that the records in/out that dd reports matches the file size.
If that works for all of the images and dd doesn't report any IO errors,
then I guess the tape is what's left to look at. You might try running
