I have set it to tapedev "/dev/nrsa0" and to tapedev "/dev/rsa0" (which both work using mt). I have also set it to null hoping that amlabel will just use the default. Amlabel reports: "rewindingamlabel: no tape online". The tape is an HP-T4000s Taravan SCSI tape, and it works flawlessly with dump and tar. The tape definition to the following: define tapetype HP-T4000s { comment "Hewlett-Packard Taravan 4GB SCSI Tape" length 4200 mbytes filemark 48 kbytes speed 3.30 mbytes } Any help on what amanda is looking for?
