amanda-2.4.3b4
EXB-8700 Tape Drive
Exabyte 160M XL tapes

Got amanda configured. But amdump keeps erroring out. I used the EXB-8500 as my
template for the EXB-8700. But since amdump wasn't working, I ran tapetype.

Here is how I ran it:

# /usr/sbin/tapetype  -f /dev/nst0

This is what I get back:

wrote 21909 32Kb blocks in 67 files in 1713 seconds (short write)
wrote 22168 32Kb blocks in 136 files in 1990 seconds (short write)
define tapetype unknown-tapetype {
    comment "just produced by tapetype program"
    length 705232 kbytes
    filemark 0 kbytes
    speed 382 kps
}

Can the filemark really be 0? I'm not 100% sure what that does or if it's
related to my problem of amanda not working.
