Hello there,
we were doing backups on a hard drive, but now I'm going to use real tapes.
Drive is a HP SureStore DLT1 vs80. AMANDA server (2.4.4p1) is on a
RedHat Linux 8 machine (kernel 2.4.18-14).
This is the configuration for the tape unit in amanda.conf:
------------------------------------
runtapes 1
tapedev "/dev/nst0"
tapetype DLT
labelstr "^Cesart[0-9][0-9]*$"
define tapetype DLT {
comment "DLT HP SureStore"
length 40960 mb
speed 3145 kps
}
------------------------------------
So I started to run amlabel on my 5 tapes. The first two went ok, but
3, 4 and 5 gave me this error:
amlabel: tape_rewind: rewinding tape: /dev/nst0: Input/output error
But it did create a new label, and 'amcheck' don't throw any errors.
What can generate this error ? Thanks.
