Hi!

Sorry if this has been discussed yet (I found some related topics on the 
archive but no real answer) but I'm having problems with amadmin 
reuse/no-reuse. 
First I noticed that if a DLE is backed up on a tape and then fails for any 
reason (like an offline host) for a whole dump cycle, this tape will be 
overwritten without notification and, even worse, the database is not updated 
correctly in this case (I did not check amrecover but the two backups appears 
on the 'stats' line of amadmin export when only the latest is really 
present). Is this a bug or something I misunderstood in Amanda? Or can it be 
because of the daily timestamps problem ? (I ran all these dumps the same 
day, for testing)
As this can happen in my particular configuration, I wrote a script which 
automatically marks the used tapes as 'no-reusable' with amadmin but Amanda 
then fails to flush when a no-reusable tape comes up in the cycle. (message: 
taper: FATAL syncpipe_get: r: unexpected EOF). So, did I do something wrong ? 
What was originally the purpose of reuse/no-reuse ?

Thanks,
