When you're doing an amdump (i.e. writing to the tape)? When you're labeling a new tape? When you're doing a recovery (reading the tape)? When you're running amcheck (which would also be reading)? What happens to whatever you're trying to do, i.e. does Amanda fail in some way? I think the message is saying some program gave the kernel a buffer that was smaller than the record size reported by the drive (32 KBytes). Amanda is extremely unlikely to have done that. My first suspicion would be a kernel or driver buffer management problem. Maybe you could ask those folks? >Toomas John R.
