Hello All:

After a very long time, maybe after 2 years or so, I started seeing amflush
problems again. No configuration was changed and nothing was touched too.
Amflush refuses to backup stuff left in the holding space to the tape. My
tape drive blinks with activity as soon as I start amflush, but it soon
stops. I checked all the logs, but I do not see any errors. I also tried
changing the permissions of the files left in the hold.. even that didn't
help.

Can anyone please let me what is going wrong? Here is my OS/Amanda info:

OS: Redhat 9.0
Kernel: 2.4.20-30.9
Amanda: amanda-client-2.4.3-4, amanda-server-2.4.3-4,amanda-2.4.3-4

Amanda outputs:

*** THE DUMPS DID NOT FINISH PROPERLY!

The dumps were flushed to tape TLS-Set-1-05.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: TLS-Set-1-06.
