Hi all,
that was a buse weekend on the list :-)
one thing I notice (before I try to catch up on the list mail) - does
anybody have an IDE tape drive working at all?
This might be a problem with ATAPI tape drivers... I remember some lines
about IDE OnStream drives in the manual, too...
And, considering the SATA seems to become the new low-end server drive
attachment (LESDR (TM) ;-) it would be nice to find out if there are
some universal problems waiting to be resolved.

Hello,
Could you and any other users who have Sony SDX drives please send your Device
configuration to this list and any other information you consider important
to get it working. One user, Andre Henning, has a SDX-260V and is having
troubles making it work.
Thanks.

Success!!
You guys were right on several counts.
1st I was identifying the drive wrong /dev/nts0 instead of /dev/nst0
2nd I had an few lines still commented in bacula-dir.conf under "A Linux or
Solaris tape drive". 3rd. there was a problem with the OS, which seems to
be my own fault. I decided to build the machine before I received all the
parts (SCSI Card and Drive) so the OS never got a chance to build with the
card and drive installed. Later when they were added, they never fully
recognized by the system or something.When I loaded the OS a 2nd time with
ALL the components installed it recognized the drive and then everything
kind of fell into place.
I must thank Steven Ellis, Kern Sibbald, Brian Keifer and Pete Wright for
their help with this problem. Coming from the windows world to Linux has
been somewhat intimidating. It's good to know that there are good people
like yourselves that are willing to help. Thanks again!

Hello,
I am very new to Linux and also very new to Bacula, so please
forgive
me
if my question seems on the basic side. Here goes,
OS version Fedora Core 2
Bacula version 1.34.6-1
database = SQLite
Tape Drive = SONY SDX-400c AIT-1 drive (35/90gb)
You were right it was a typo... but even with the right syntax I still
got the same message...
btape: btape Fatal error: butil.c:96 Cannot find device "/dev/nts0"
in config file bacula-sd.conf.
I believe that you should have specified /dev/nst0, not /dev/nts0.

I'm not sure what most of that stuff means, but it looks like it's
calling the drive st0. So would this drive be nst0 or just st0 or is
this the wrong way to tell what assignment the drive has been given?
Thanks again for being so understanding.
Louis Guskey
Yes, the drive is being called /dev/st0. The convention is that a
non-rewinding device file to match /dev/st0 is called /dev/nst0--you
should be all set on that point.
I think you need to follow Kern's advice (our esteemed bacula author),
and double check the bacula-sd configuration file--it seems likely that
the Device section you need is commented out:
---quoting Kern---
You probably just need to uncomment the "A Linux or Solaris tape drive"
section of your bacula-sd.conf file by removing the #'s in column 1 and
you will be in business. Perhaps you should change the DDS-4 names to
something more appropriate, but that is not mandatory.
Regards, Kern
---end quote---
If that isn't it, I'd see if "mt -f /dev/nst0 status" works--I suspect it
will. If you still have problems, you may want to share your
bacula-sd.conf file with us.
