Hi List,
There have been a number of postings over the last few years mentioning
Seagate STT20000A IDE tape drives - has anyone managaed to get one to
work with Bacula?
FWIW - Suse 9.3 on Athlon 2600XP, Bacula 1.38.1 (and earlier versions)
dmesg reports:
Probing IDE interface ide0...
hdb: Seagate STT20000A, ATAPI TAPE drive
ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14
...
scsi2 : SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices
Vendor: Seagate Model: STT20000A Rev: 8.43
Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Attached scsi tape st0 at scsi2, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
st0: try direct i/o: yes (alignment 512 B), max page reachable by HBA
1048575
Attached scsi generic sg1 at scsi2, channel 0, id 0, lun 0, type 1
bacula built with:
./configure \
--sbindir=$HOME/bacula/bin \
--sysconfdir=$HOME/bacula/bin \
--with-pid-dir=$HOME/bacula/bin \
--with-subsys-dir=$HOME/bacula/sbin \
--with-mysql \
--with-working-dir=$HOME/bacula/bin/working \

--with-smtp-host=****
running as ordinary user & with /dev/nst0 perms set to 777
mt-tools test runs but the "tar tvf" stage retuns nothing - tape whirrs
for a few seconds then prompt re-appears.
Tried btape anyway, after starting mysql and bacula tables intialised
bacula-sd.conf has FileStorage comemnted out and teh follwoing added:
Device {
Name = Travan-20
Media Type = Travan-20
Archive Device = /dev/nst0
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
}
btape starts with no error:
Tape block granularity is 1024 bytes.
btape: butil.c:266 Using device: "/dev/nst0" for writing.
btape: btape.c:338 open device "Travan-20" (/dev/nst0): 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 ...
17-Nov 19:38 btape: btape Error: block.c:538 Write error at 0:0 on
device "Travan-20" (/dev/nst0). ERR=Invalid argument.

17-Nov 19:38 btape: btape Error: Re-read last block at EOT failed.

btape: btape.c:791 Error writing block to device.
*quit
Any thoughts gratefully recieved!
