Hi all,

by the way, wish all of you all the best things for this new year.

My problem is that I frequently have these messages:

*** A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [reading label: Input/output error].
Some dumps may have been left in the holding disk.
Run amflush to flush them to tape.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: TestConf10.

or this one:

The dumps were flushed to tape TestConf08.
*** A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [[writing file: Bad file descriptor]].
Some dumps may have been left in the holding disk.
Run amflush again to flush them to tape.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: TestConf09.

Thinking this could be an SCSI issue, I installed a second SCSI controller on my backup server and attached the tape drive on it, but the problem still remains.
Somehow, I now have this in my kernel messages (which didn't happen when I only 
had one SCSI controller):

Jan 16 16:17:09 parasy kernel: st0: Error with sense data: Info fld=0x2, 
Current st09:00: sense key Medium Error
Jan 16 16:17:09 parasy kernel: Additional sense indicates Write error


Any ideas or indications on this issue are greatly appreciated.

Regards.
