Hi Evelyne,

 From the manual :

...

   Then write an EOF on each tape you used with *Bacula* using:

mt -f /dev/st0 rewind
mt -f /dev/st0 weof
     where you need to adjust the device name for your system.


This is necessary because bacula will not overwrite a tape unless it knows it can do so. This knowledge comes from the tapes having a bacula label and being in the catalog in an available state. Labeled tapes from the test runs and an empty database results in bacula requesting new tapes, logically.

Now, apart from deleting the tape labels, you could also insert them into the catalog using the add command.

Hello,

I use an Exabyte EZ17 autoloader.7 tapes. I tested it. All was OK.
I cleaned the database (drop_bacula_tables + make_bacula_tables) after testing and I run a first job.


The bconsole command status dir displays the message waiting for an appendable Volume
The label commande fails because the tape has already be labeled during the precedent tests.
The bconsole command status storage displays the message Device is BLOCKED waiting for appendable media.


How can I unblock the device and append the Volume ?
During my tests, the Volume was automatically appended with the label command, which doesn't work now.


Thanks in advance.
Evelyne
