Strange Errors during dump
2003-08-11 09:59:47
Dear List-Members
A setup which was working perfectly until the last backup cycle is giving me a
headache.
I have Amanda running on FreeBSD 4.8. The Tapedrive is an Exabyte Mammoth DLT
15/30
and the SCSI-Controller is an Adaptec AHA-2970.
The Amanda-Report looks as following:
*----------->8------------------------------
The dumps were flushed to tape VOL02.
*** A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [[writing filemark: Input/output error]].
Some dumps may have been left in the holding disk.
Run amflush again to flush them to tape.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: VOL03.
FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:
web2 / lev 1 FAILED [out of tape]

*----------------->8---------------------------
I suppose this is a fault with the hardware? The errors occured with different
tapes
from the tapecycle so I believe it's the tape-drive.
Any hints or opinions from the gurus on this would be greatly appreciated. =:-)
