I’ve
been working on my original problem of the service not seemingly running under
the user Amanda when I think I discovered another issue, perhaps related to my
problem. When I do an amcheck –m DailySet1 I get the following email sent
to me:
DailySet1
AMANDA PROBLEM: FIX BEFORE RUN, IF POSSIBLE
------------------------------------------------------
Holding
disk /var/tmp: 7250452 KB disk space available,
that's plenty
ERROR:
/dev/nst0: reading label: Input/output error
(expecting a new tape)
NOTE:
skipping tape-writable test
NOTE:
info dir /var/lib/amanda/DailySet1/curinfo: does not exist
NOTE: it will be created on the next run
------------------------------------------------------
I was able to run system level commands like
mt
–f /dev/nst0 erase
And I was able to backup directly to the tape device
ok.
I only found a couple of other people that were
experiencing an issue similar to what I’m seeing. One stated that a
“mt –f /dev/nst0 setblk
0” fixed their issue. I tried
this and got the same message.
I’ve tried 3 different brand new out of the
wrapper tapes so I don’t think it’s a tape issue. I’m also able to backup by copying
files directly to the tape drive.
Any ideas?
Thanks much.
