Hi,

I have a customer who is running our unix server with amanda for 2 months
now. Every night after a dump we get an email with the dump-statistics. The
dumps are all full dumps and we used 5 tapes for it (which we labeled). dums
are from Mo till Fr (5 days). No problems so far.

Last night we got a tape error:

*** A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [writing label: Read-only file system]

* Does this mean that the tape is write-protected?

AFAIK yes, shurely someone set the physical writeprotection of the cartridge.

* Is amanda trying to label the tape? Why: we already labeled it

amanda rewrites the label every time it overwites a tape.
that is the first action she does on the tape.

* Is this critical?

yes, more or less. No data was written to the tape as it was writeprotected.
amanda will probably insist on using this tape in the next run again.
