Just this last run? That almost disqualifies the suggestion I was
going to make, which is, there was a period around 9 months back
when the ioctl call amanda used to rewind the tape was broken, and
this prevented the rewinding and reading of the tapes label. Its
been fixed for quite a while though.
OTOH, I cheerfully build and install every snapshot Jean-Louis puts
up on his site, and a lot has been "smoothed up" in the current
2.4.3b4 snapshots. I might be worth the effort, maybe even the
changer stuff works for you now, its running mine just fine.
