I am having this kind of problem but no errors reported in logs or email.
Even though I did not set anything about /dev/null thingy, amrecover still
complaining it.
my settings in amanda.conf :
tpchanger "chg-multi"
tapedev "file:/backup/amanda/dumps"
changerfile "/usr/local/etc/amanda/DailySet1/changer.conf"
amrecover_do_fsf yes
amrecover_check_label yes
amrecover_changer "changer"

This is changer.conf
multieject 0
gravity 0
needeject 0
ejectdelay 0

statefile /usr/local/etc/amanda/DailySet1/changer-status

slot 2 file:/backup/amanda/dumps/tape02
slot 3 file:/backup/amanda/dumps/tape03

slot 12 file:/backup/amanda/dumps/tape12
slot 13 file:/backup/amanda/dumps/tape13
slot 14 file:/backup/amanda/dumps/tape14

What does it means by Inappropriate ioctl for device? If I recover backup
which is in one tape only, I can. If multiple tapes, I cant.
