Kern, Florian, Thanks for your help! I've learnt a lesson.. I should've inspected the media. The end of the tape has gone right inside itself, so it would probably just spin forever.
Thanks for your help guys. Never thought it would be a physical error. >>> Kern Sibbald <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 11/11/2005 13:55 >>> On Friday 11 November 2005 13:35, Beren Gamble wrote: > Ok, this rewind error isn't going away. > > I've tried changing the sleep timer to 180 in mtx-changer. No luck.. What version of Bacula are you running? What OS version? Specifically the kernel. There was a change in how the Linux kernel handles tape drives from 2.4 to 2.6. Bacula 1.38.0 learned how to deal with it correctly, Bacula 1.36.3 and lower can have this type of error. The other thing to do is to turn on the wait_for_drive() (or whatever it is called) in mtx-changer, but make sure it works on your system. > > Connecting to Storage daemon ULTRIUM at backup2.harrow.gov.uk:9103 ... > Sending label command for Volume "000106L2" Slot 4 ... > 3301 Issuing autochanger "loaded drive 0" command. > 3302 Autochanger "loaded drive 0", result: nothing loaded. > 3304 Issuing autochanger "load slot 4, drive 0" command. > 3305 Autochanger "load slot 4, drive 0", status is OK. > 3912 Failed to label Volume: ERR=dev.c:405 Rewind error on /dev/st0.
