Hi!

I'm using amanda for 2 years now and everything went fine so far. Now the taper had a couple of months off and I tried to get my backups up and running today.

Everything seemed to work fine until I typed amcheck, because I get the following message for every slot the changer got:

amcheck-server: slot 5: reading label: Input/output error

The same happens when I try to label a new tape etc.

I checked the FAQ and saw that the problem is more likely to be a hardware or system one. Anyway, and I hope it's not too off topic here, could someone pls help me find out if it's amanda, the system (an SuSE 8.2 Linux) or the tape library itself. I would like to be sure that it#s broken before I send it to HP. The box doesn' have warranty anymore...

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Markus
