Greetings,

On 5th April I upgraded 2.5.2p1 to 2.6.0 on Opensuse 10.2, using the
rpm provided in the download section of amanda.  This was done both on
the server-client, as well as the only other client.  I have not changed
anything accept that in amanda.conf I replaced the line
tapedev "/dev/nst0"
by
tapedev "tape:/dev/nst0"
as was suggested by amcheck

On the 6th of April, the first run of 2.6.0 produced an error on one
of the DLEs, which I had never seen before:

FAILURE DUMP SUMMARY:
   fiume.localnet /home/charles/pictures lev 1  FAILED [cannot read
header: got 0 bytes instead of 32768]
fiume.localnet /home/charles/pictures lev 1  FAILED [too many dumper
retry: "[request failed: Resource temporarily unavailable]"]
fiume.localnet /home/charles/pictures lev 1  FAILED [cannot read
header: got 0 bytes instead of 32768]

and

fiume.localn /home       1  816840  722606   88.5    2:19 5214.0  12:00 1003.4
fiume.localn -s/pictures 1 FAILED --------------------------------------------
etc.

Other DLEs went fine without problem


On the 7th of April, everything was done without any error reporting.

On the 8th of April (today), I got again the same error on the same DLE
but also a recovered error condition on another DLE. The full amdump report
of today is below
