I am using 2.4.4 on a solaris machine.

My setup is as follows:
I have 2 setups one monthly and one daily
The monthly only writes to new tapes.
And is working fine.

The daily only overwrites the tapes In the system
At this point in time amdump is failing because it is looking for a new
tape

"Amadmin daily tape" reports this as well as the log files although
previously this was not the case.

my configs though say to only overwrite all daily tapes.
$HOME/etc/daily/tapelist reports that all the daily tapes marked as
"reuse"
except for one that I have marked as "no-reuse"

is there any way to force amanda to use a specific tape
as this setup revolves around remote management and a 300km one way
drive to add one tape.
