Check to see if some problem has truncated your tapelist file. If a problem (e.g., no space left on a device) prevents the tapelist from being created or some other problem truncated the file, then you could expect to see a problem like this. Check to see if there have been any drive faults or other system events at the time when Amanda

started giving you strange results.

I have created a patch, which seems not yet included in the current
sources, for similar errors:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/amanda-hackers/message/3769

(but it seems that this is not the problem, as Lucio seems to indicate
that there ARE enough entries in the tapelist file.  Maybe a permission
problem?  Or looking at a file with the same name but not the one
as configured in amanda.conf?)


Jean-Louis,

This patch was posted, while you were on holiday, or burried under the
work...  I believe it's nice to include anyway.
