Have you tried:
amtape {config} show
to see if amanda thinks the tape label is correct ?

Hi all,
I have amanda 2.4.3 running on a RedHat 9 an old setup I know and it
has been running for three years almost without problems :-)
But last saturdays backup never finished but aprox. 12 hours after the
job started I received the following mail:
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
Holding disk /backup: 154964584 KB disk space available, using 154933864 KB
WARNING: skipping tape test because amdump or amflush seem to be running
WARNING: if they are not, you must run amcleanup
Server check took 0.001 seconds
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
Client check: 2 hosts checked in 1.117 seconds, 0 problems found
(brought to you by Amanda 2.4.3)
I tried to run amcleanup but it wouldn't run since amanda was still
running, then I rebooted the machine and ran amcleanup when it came
back online, after that I'm experiencing a weird error:
*** A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [label BackUp06 or new tape not found in
rack]. 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:
BackUp06.
so nothing gets backed up :-(
And the weird thing is that the tape mentioned is in fact in the rack
and in the right place. I've tried starting with tape 5 in the drive
and watched as the tapechanger substituted that tape with tape 6 into
the drive and then producing the exact same error as above ? ? ?
Anyone got any ideas at all as to what is going on?
btw I also tried moving all the tapelist, amdump, amflush and other
log files out of the but that did not help either.
thanks in advance
