Hmmm...  Well, clearly the exact failure mode different between the two
servers :(.

(You did previously see the "terminated with signal 11" error message on
the eclogite server, right?)

Did the dump that ran yesterday/last night actually write to the
geo-daily-065 tape successfully, or was there some sort of changer error
at run time?


I guess the next thing to try would be to install
ScanInventory.pm.patch_20201013B to enable some debugging, then run
"amcheck -s" and "amtape ... taper" again and post the results.  Those
tests should be done using the oldest taperscan, but you can leave the
amanda.conf as-is and test with -otaperscan on the command lines if you
prefer.

Also, since I assume the statefile has changed since you last posted it,
I guess you should include it again (i.e. the version that is out then
at the moemnt you are running those tests).
