Package: amanda-server
Version: 1:2.5.2p1-4
Severity: normal
If amverify runs and there is no tape in the streamer, it will loop forever.
I started the script with -set x:
+ echo 'Using device tape:/dev/nst0'
+ echo 'Waiting for device to go ready...'
Waiting for device to go ready...
+ count=1800
+ eval '$MT' '$MTF' '$DEVICE' stat
=> here it hangs for 120 seconds
+ '[' count -lt 0 ']'
/usr/sbin/amverify: line 380: [: count: integer expression expected
+ sleep 3
++ expr 1800 - 3
+ count=1797
+ eval '$MT' '$MTF' '$DEVICE' stat
The command evaluates to "ammt -f /dev/nst0 stat":
# ammt -df /dev/nst0 stat
debug mode!

tapename is "/dev/nst0"

=> here it hangs for 120 seconds
I changed [ count -lt 0 ] to [ $count -lt 0 ] in lines 380 and 438, this fixes
the infinite loop problem.
It doesn't help with the long delay which causes the script to run for more
than 24 hours until it breaks though.
