Dear,
I have configured AMANDA on a new platform running DEBIAN 3
with a SCSI tapes library and LTO tape drives.
Everything is working fine except the AMDUMP. It looks like
Amanda writes correctly the label on the tapes and the end file mark but

That's what I recall too.
Wide devices have an even lower priority: 15 to 8.

Recall I had a problem getting this device to work properly when it failed to write to the tape. This problem was correct by a new and separate scsi card dedicated to the packet loader.
When I use the older ncr53c7xx driver in Linux, it works OK, but does not automatically reload tapes. Here
