I've been attempting to run and install Amanda for backups. Just now, while trying to run some checks, I received the following error: (sa0:ahc0:0:6:0): tape is now frozen- use an OFFLINE, REWIND or MTEOM command to clear this state. When I attempt to issue the "mt -f /dev/nrsa0 status" command, I get: Mar 30 12:41:05 /kernel: (sa0:ahc0:0:6:0): tape is now frozen- use an OFFLINE, REWIND or MTEOM command to clear this state. I have tried "mt rewind", "mt eom", "mt offline", different tapes, even rebooting the machine, but nothing works. Any ideas? Suggestions?
