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.

Maybe hardware problems (bad cabling, scsi termination etc).
Did you sacrifice the chicken before connecting your drive?
Any kernel messages in /var/log/messages or dmesg?
