From this I guess your tape is defined as having a capacity of 5 Gbyte.
What kind of tape is that?  I'm not familiar with any tape device with
such a capacity.

It should be 10Gb of  virtual tape on a lufs-mounted ftp-server.
The definition tape-type is set to 10 Gb (10240 megabytes) tape-type (HARD-DISK) Before labeling the tapes I forgot setting it to this paarmeter and it was pointing to a DAT tape drive definition. The 1st ever made dump was made with this wrong parameters, but I have corrected them .




NOTES:

...

 taper: tape daily4 kb 10080 fm 6 writing file: short write


And here I see the tape got into trouble after wriging about 10 Mbyte.
A "short write" could mean end of tape, but this seems more like
a tape error.  Try cleaning the tape.  For scsi, make sure the
termintor is OK.  Make sure the cables are connected fine, etc.


It is a virtual file-tape on a mounted ftp share I am given access to. ftp access IS slow.

Have a look at the "columnspec" directive in amanda.conf to
make these lines a bit more readable.


I'll do ..
Have to google for the options ..
