Hi all
I am facing problems with the tapes. Everytime I try to run
amcheck,amverify or amdump it says its expecting a new tape. Here are
the results it puts out when I run amcheck
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
Holding disk /home/amanda: 29635568 KB disk space available, that's plenty
ERROR: /dev/nst0: reading label: Input/output error
(expecting a new tape)
NOTE: skipping tape-writable test

I strongly believe that the amanda.conf you send is not the one
that is used! Or you changed it very recently.
From your amanda.conf:
> tapedev "/dev/st0"
This is wrong: it is the rewinding device, and if I remember correctly
I pointed out this and other errors in your amanda.conf a few weeks ago:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/amanda-users/message/46994
But the amcheck above says it uses /dev/nst0, so assume that the
current amanda.conf is a different one...
It could be that by using the rewinding device, you accidently
overwrote the label. Was this what happened?
