Hi List,
my problem seems to be that the tape rewinds during idle times.
That is during spooling to disk before writing to tape.
Two short jobs completed, third job is spooling 38 GB to disk and takes
about 1h45m for this. Then it tries to write to the tape.

Bacula label on this tape is overwritten with EOF and destroyed. So I think
that somehow the tape was rewound to the start.
Bacula is 1.36.3 and uses the tape exclusively. System is SuSE 9.0 with
Kernel-2.4.21-286.
Changer is:

Any suggestions where to look for the culprit?
Anymore Info needed?
