I have just started with Bacula and would really like to get this to work.
I have a Compaq SDT-10000 DDS-4 on /dev/sg0

make that /dev/nst0 and things should work better, I guess.

I run Bacula on Clarkconnect Home Edition v 3.1.
I have tried to follow the instructions to verify the functions of Bacula
but I run into problem very early...

This is what happend when i run btape.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# btape -c /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf /dev/sg0
Tape block granularity is 1024 bytes.
btape: butil.c:258 Using device: "/dev/sg0" for writing.
btape: btape.c:335 open_dev /dev/sg0 OK
*test

=== Write, rewind, and re-read test ===

I'm going to write 1000 records and an EOF
then write 1000 records and an EOF, then rewind,
and re-read the data to verify that it is correct.

This is an *essential* feature ...

btape: btape.c:766 Bad status from rewind. ERR=dev.c:406 Rewind error on
/dev/sg0. ERR=Invalid argument.

Any input on this problem is very much appreciated.

Seems reasonable. I guess you can write arbitrary data to a SCSI generic device, but the IOCTL for rewind is probably not available there.
