Re: debian 11, vtapes not found correctly anymore

Hi,

Anything in /var/log/kern.log and the like about the "amcheck-device: 
new Amanda::Changer::Error: type='failed', reason='notfound', 
message='No removable disk mounted on '/mnt/externaldisk01'' maybe?

Maybe there's a clear error about the drive not being mounted and the 
root cause if outside of AMANDA.
