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...

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.

Use amlabel(8) to label the tape or setup autolabel in your amanda.conf(5) file.

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': ...99356682k failed: killed while writing to tape (66472960k done (66.90%)) (5:32:56), waiting for a new tape So be sure to check your dumper logs.
