Hello
Has anyone got the Seagate STT3401A Travan 40 tape drive to work with Bacula
under Linux? I am getting the following error during btape test:
Reposition to file:block 0:4
08-Nov 12:52 btape: btape Error: block.c:264 Volume data error at 0:4! Wanted
ID: "BB02", got "". Buffer discarded.
btape: btape.c:979 Read block 5 failed! file=0 blk=4. ERR=Input/output error
btape: btape.c:989 This may be because the tape drive block size is not
set to variable blocking as normally used by Bacula.
Please see the Tape Testing chapter in the manual and
look for using mt with defblksize and setoptions
If your tape drive block size is correct, then perhaps
your SCSI driver is *really* stupid and does not
correctly report the file:block after a FSF. In this
case try setting:
Fast Forward Space File = no
in your Device resource.
I have tried setting Fast Forward Space File to no and also Block Positioning
to no as sugested in the manual, but noting works. I also have tried to set
block size to 0 using mt.
Anyone has a clue?
