View source for Taper log says: taper: critical (fatal): Can't locate auto/Amanda/Device/Device/swig volume.al in @INC

=Problem=
You are notified (or not notified) by amanda of a failure involving amdump or amflush (or ?) to this effect:

taper: critical (fatal): Can't locate auto/Amanda/Device/Device/swig_volume.al in @INC...

=Explanation=

This is most likely due to the tape Amanda was trying to use being unlabeled although Amanda somehow had the idea it was/should be labeled.

=Solution=

Use {{man|8|amlabel}} to label the tape or setup autolabel in your {{man|5|amanda.conf}} file.

=Variations of This Problem=

* amflush fails with 'taper: FATAL Can't locate auto/Amanda/De [http://archives.zmanda.com/amanda-archives/viewtopic.php?t=6877&sid=fc4382f71bc98eb373f3b57f756c969a]

=Additional Information=

* Note that this error may not appear in any of your "normal" Amanda haunts. You may have something like this in the results of 'amstatus config': <code>...99356682k failed: killed while writing to tape (66472960k done (66.90%)) (5:32:56), waiting for a new tape</code> So be sure to check your dumper logs.
