Hi,
have you tried it with a brand new tape?
or only with tapes the old drive failed on?
I had a sdt-9000 die similar, producing write-errors
with medium-errors.
the Tapes wreer unusable even in a new drive until i took a big magnet
and wiped every bit on these tapes. after that they started working
again.
The defective drive must have written such a mess at the header peace of
the tape(s), so no other drive's would write to them until they where
bulk erased.....

Hi,

      I have an Amanda Backup that was working fine now, when I try to use:
su -c "/usr/sbin/amlabel Daily1 DAILY1-01" backup, the system return me:

           st0: Error with sense data: Current st09:00: sense key Medium
Error
           Additional sense indicates Write error
           ....

       If I try: mt erase /dev/st0, it return me:

            st0: Error with sense data: Current st09:00: sense key Medium
Error
            Additional sense indicates Write error
            mt: /dev/tape: Input/Output error

        I change my SDT-9000 tape to a new one and the problem persist.

        I saw on the logs the messages:

            st0: Block limits 1 - 16777215 bytes
            st0: Error with sense data: Current st09:00 sense key Medium
Error
            Additional sense indicates Write error

        Does anyone could help me please ? When a try to recover a backup it
worked fine.
