Hi,

i was unsuccessful finding an answer, so I turned here. Apologies if this has been asked for a zillion times already:

In amanda 2.4.5 amcheck returned an error and sent a mail when the tape did have a wrong labvel. Under 2.4.5 it still detects the label mismatch, but this is not recognized as an error and, by default, no mail is generated.

My question:
- is this an intended change of behavior or a bug?
- is there a configuration workaround or a patch?
- if none of the above: shall i try to write one?

Yes it is a bug, and it was fixed in the code a few weeks ago already.
Wait until the next release, or use a recent "snapshot" release.

Or apply this little change to the source code yourself:
