An error message from Amanda:
... not an amanda tape
=Solution=
Amanda requires you to label tapes before it uses them. Run {{man|8|amlabel}} in order to label a tape.  


If, even after labeling a tape, `amcheck' still complains about it, make sure the regular expression specified in amanda.conf matches the label you have specified, and check whether you have configured non-rewinding tape devices for Amanda to use. For example, use /dev/nrst0 instead of /dev/rst0, /dev/rmt/0bn instead of /dev/rmt/0b, or some other system-dependent device name that contains an `n', instead of one that does not. The `n' stands for non-rewinding.  
You may also be able to use <tt>label_new_tapes</tt> (<tt>autolabel</tt> as of version 3.1) in {{man|5|amanda.conf}} to automatically label tapes.


If you have labeled any tapes using the rewinding device configuration, you'll have to label them again.
If, even after labeling a tape, {{man|8|amcheck}} still complains about it, make sure the regular expression specified via <tt>labelstr</tt> in {{man|5|amanda.conf}} matches the label you have specified, and check whether you have configured non-rewinding tape devices for Amanda to use. For example, on Linux use <tt>/dev/nrst0</tt> instead of <tt>/dev/rst0</tt>, or <tt>/dev/rmt/0bn</tt> instead of <tt>/dev/rmt/0b</tt>. The `n' stands for non-rewinding.  


If you have labeled any tapes using the rewinding device configuration, you may have to label them again (see [[Talk:{{PAGENAME}}|Discussion]]).

I'm not convinced that using a rewinding tapedevice makes the tape label invalid. Anyone proof of this solution? On the other hand, a wrong blocksize (32 bytes instead of 32k bytes) can result in an invalid label. -- Paul.bijnens 11:36, 5 December 2005 (PST)

Problem

An error message from Amanda:

... not an amanda tape

Solution

Amanda requires you to label tapes before it uses them. Run amlabel(8) in order to label a tape.

You may also be able to use label_new_tapes (autolabel as of version 3.1) in amanda.conf(5) to automatically label tapes.

If, even after labeling a tape, amcheck(8) still complains about it, make sure the regular expression specified via labelstr in amanda.conf(5) matches the label you have specified, and check whether you have configured non-rewinding tape devices for Amanda to use. For example, on Linux use /dev/nrst0 instead of /dev/rst0, or /dev/rmt/0bn instead of /dev/rmt/0b. The `n' stands for non-rewinding.

If you have labeled any tapes using the rewinding device configuration, you may have to label them again (see Discussion).
