Hi,
Im just starting out with amanda and am having some issues getting a manual tape change to work. I have followed advice from #81 , but still run into issues. I have a 30 Tb volume and 18 Tb tapes (single tape drive). Here is my config file:

I pre-labelled 4 tapes using amlabel (BLA001 - BLA004) to make sure I have enough. I inserted BLA001 and started amdump. Everything progresses as expected until the tape runs out of space. The full tape is ejected automatically, I then inserted the next tape BLA002. However, the amdump command exits straight away and I see this in the log:
Ok so next I tried restarting amdump with the BLA002 tape in the drive, however the BLA002 tape gets ejected immediately. What do I do? I want to finish the backup on the BLA002 tape.
