hi,
4 months ago I installed amanda 2.4.2p and it worked fine.
but now I get following strange error:
FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:
localhost /home/samba/projekte/Laufende lev 0 FAILED [too many taper retries]

As others have pointed out you hit EOT, probably because you were using
hardware compression
on already compressed data.
taper: tape met055 kb 17488544 fm 1 writing file: Input/output error
taper: retrying localhost:/home/samba/projekte/Laufende.0 on new tape: [writing
file: Input/output error]
taper: tape met054 kb 0 fm 0 [OK]
Possibly met055 is a bad tape, or you may need to add a sleep in your changer
script. It
takes awhile for most changers to unload and load a new tape. I had to add
some sleep
time to mine to keep from getting I/O errors trying to read the label while the
new
tape was still being loaded.
