You should have a look in your /var/log/messages (supposing it is linux you are using). Troubles on the scsi-bus get logged there (at least on my system). This should do the trick: # grep st0 /var/log/messages These are the normal log entries, when bacula starts to write to tape. --------------------------------- Oct 14 03:26:35 epistaxis kernel: st0: Mode 0 options: buffer writes: 1, async writes: 1, read ahead: 1 Oct 14 03:26:35 epistaxis kernel: st0: can bsr: 0, two FMs: 0, fast mteom: 0, auto lock: 0, Oct 14 03:26:35 epistaxis kernel: st0: defs for wr: 0, no block limits: 0, partitions: 0, s2 log: 0 Oct 14 03:26:35 epistaxis kernel: st0: sysv: 0 nowait: 0 --------------------------------- These are error entries. If you find something similar you should have a look in the messages and see what else happens around that time. (This is the unit showing a hardware error, getting really confused and finally blowing its power supply sometime later) --------------------------------- Oct 7 12:38:06 epistaxis kernel: st0: Error with sense data: Current st09:00: sense key Hardware Error Oct 7 12:38:07 epistaxis kernel: st0: Error with sense data: Current st09:00: sense key Hardware Error Oct 7 12:38:07 epistaxis kernel: st0: Error with sense data: Current st09:00: sense key Medium Error Oct 7 12:38:12 epistaxis kernel: st0: Error with sense data: Current st09:00: sense key Not Ready --------------------------------- Also a look into the kernel message ring buffer might help. Use the command 'dmesg' for that. But as it is a ring buffer it gets overwritten after some time.
