Greetings;

I've called this one to the groups attention before, but for about the 
last 2 or 3 months, running amcheck on a freshly reloaded magazine no 
longer reloads the last slot loaded before I punched the eject 
cassette button to change tapes.

Humm, its gonna make a liar out of me yet.  Somehow that initial delay 
seems to have turned into several minutes!  But I'll have to rerun 
it, as it errored out, showing this in the shell I ran it from:

[root@coyote root]# su amanda -c "amcheck DailySet1"
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
Holding disk /dumps: 15485264 KB disk space available, using 14973264 
KB
amcheck-server: fatal slot <error>: <error> could not read result from 
"/usr/local/libexec/chg-scsi" (got signal 11)
ERROR: label DailySet1-18 or new tape not found in rack
       (expecting tape DailySet1-18 or a new tape)
NOTE: skipping tape-writable test
Server check took 275.576 seconds

Now that it has loaded a tape, the rerun will do this:
--------------------------
[root@coyote root]# su amanda -c "amcheck DailySet1"
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
------
Holding disk /dumps: 15485244 KB disk space available, using 14973244

amcheck-server: slot 1: date 20031107 label DailySet1-19 (active tape)
amcheck-server: slot 2: date 20031108 label DailySet1-20 (active tape)
amcheck-server: slot 3: date 20031109 label DailySet1-21 (active tape)
amcheck-server: slot 0: date 20031106 label DailySet1-18 (exact label 
match)
NOTE: skipping tape-writable test
Tape DailySet1-18 label ok
Server check took 202.262 seconds

Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
Client check: 2 hosts checked in 0.261 seconds, 0 problems found

Can we please go back to the older, one pass version?
