Good afternoon, My problem is with an AIT tape (Sony SDX-420C) that does not accept variable block format.
If I put mim/max block equal to 32768 and do: mt -f /dev/st0 setblk 32768 bacula write 32668 bytes (always 100 bytes less independent of blocksize stablished). Seems that the tape drive then writes 2 blocks (tape capacity goes to less than one half and bacula will give some type of error somewhere (or appending, or reading back etc). If I do a setblk 32868 bacula will give a message that the blocksize is not multiple of device blocksize and I'll have an error on the first write. Does anyone have experience with tapes that do not let you change the blocksize (I can't set block size to 0 (variable)) Thanks, -- Eduardo Jaime Quirós Batres - [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
