Hi,
sorry to correct you, but you must not use /dev/st0 with amanda,
the correct device for amanda is /dev/nst0, as this device does not rewind
when it is closen.
/dev/st0 rewinds the tape at close which is a nono with amanda.
vxa tools are reporting a correct device for your tape, but
not for the use with amanda. the /dev/sg[0-9] devices are for generic
acces to scsi-devices, they offer another interface.
If you want to operate a changer for example you'll have to use the sg-device.

Hi, everyone,

I changed the device to /dev/st0 and everything worked, including
amlabel.  Apparently the problem is with vxaTool reporting the wrong
device and not amanda.  I'll report the bug to Exabyte.

Thanks
