Hello, I'm installing amanda for the first time on solaris 8 with a dlt
8000 drive.  It seems like I need to manualing rewind the tape drive when
incerting a fresh tape.  Otherwise I get this error - why
would mt rewind the drive and amlabel only on the 2nd try?


bash-2.01# su amanda -c "amlabel daily kolea04" rewinding
amlabel: tape_rewind: tape open: /dev/rmt/0cn: I/O error
bash-2.01# su amanda -c "amlabel daily kolea04"
rewinding, reading label, not an amanda tape
rewinding, writing label kolea04, checking label, done.
