Hello everyone!
I am having an odd issue with amverify and amrecover and am wondering if
anyone can tell me why?
Using 2.5.0b2 (upgraded from 2.4.2), the amdump seems to run fine,
without any errors in the status e-mail, but I am getting some strange
output when running amverify and amrecover.
When I run amverify, I get errors at the beginning and the end of the
status mail, however it shows the complete tape listing in the middle.
Here it the output, edited for length (let me know if you want to see
the entire output):
Tapes: Gemini-17

Too many errors.
When I run amrecover I get errors saying that the files aren't found in
the archive however, all of the files are extracted and have correct
md5sums. Here is the ouput, edited for length (let me know if you want
to see the entire output):
