Hi All (again!)
I must be mising something really simple here. I have a monthly dump
that errored (schedule 4). I have changed the tape, relabelled the tape,
amchecked
it ... but it won't flush. Even more puzzling is that it won't "see" the files
on the holding disk. The files are there, the tape writes with no problems at
all ... Any ideas?
*-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are the files on the holding disk:

Here is the amcheck:
windamere[575]% amcheck sched4monthly
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
Holding disk /holding2/schedule4: 62083037 KB disk space available, that's
plenty
amcheck-server: slot 29: date 20040226 label schedule4-JAN-2004 (new tape)
NOTE: skipping tape-writable test
Tape schedule4-JAN-2004 label ok
Server check took 33.684 seconds
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
Client check: 2 hosts checked in 1.373 seconds, 0 problems found
(brought to you by Amanda 2.4.4p2)
*-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I then do the flush:
windamere[576]% amflush sched4monthly
Scanning /holding2/schedule4...
20040219: found Amanda directory.
20040220: found Amanda directory.
Multiple Amanda directories, please pick one by letter:
A. 20040219
B. 20040220
Select directories to flush [A..B]: [ALL] b
Today is: 20040226
Flushing dumps in 20040220 using tape changer "chg-chs2".
Expecting a new tape. (The last dumps were to tape schedule4-END-2003)
Are you sure you want to do this [yN]? y
Running in background, you can log off now.
You'll get mail when amflush is finished.

The email I receive fro mthe attempted flush is this:

The dumps were flushed to tape schedule4-JAN-2004.
*** A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [[writing file: I/O error]].
Some dumps may have been left in the holding disk.
Run amflush again to flush them to tape.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: a new tape.

and finally ... to prove nothing is wrong with the tape .... I'll just tar
a quick filesystem to it (destroying the amanda label, I know ... but
I can always re-labell it):
windamere[589]% tar -cf /dev/rmt/3c /tmp

........ (truncated from here on)
All is OK with the tape and the tape drive (well barring a problem
with the tape at, say ... the 5GB section or something). What am I missing?
thanks all
