I am running FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE-p1with a sony sdx 500c
I was wondering if the pthreads library was fixed in this release
platforms/freebsd/pthreads-fix.txt says 5.3 might have it. Also any
other ideas on what could be causeing these errors.
Did the btape tests run OK? Run the two tape test. If that works,
you'll be fine. If it doesn't, then we need to look closer.
And did you see the port info? Seems to me I had to add this stuff to
get btape to report success. Here's the relevant part of my tape device
resource in my bacula-sd.conf:
# From the port info:
# Due to lack of some features in the FreeBSD tape driver
# implementation you MUST add some OS dependent options to
# the bacula-sd.conf file:
Hardware End of Medium = no;
Backward Space Record = no;
Backward Space File = no;
# With 2 filemart at EOT (see man mt):
Fast Forward Space File = no;
BSF at EOM = yes;
TWO EOF = yes;
Good luck,
Drew
