Hi!
Tonight, I got the following I/O error for the first time:
The Drive is a DLT1 tape:
Vendor: BNCHMARK Model: DLT1 Rev: 5538
Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
-------------------- snipp! --------------------

-------------------- snipp! --------------------
This is the dmesg output:
-------------------- snipp! --------------------
st0: Error with sense data: <6>st0: Current: sense key: Not Ready
Additional sense: Logical unit not ready, initializing cmd. required
st0: Error 400f4 (sugg. bt 0x0, driver bt 0x0, host bt 0x4).
st0: Error 400f4 (sugg. bt 0x0, driver bt 0x0, host bt 0x4).
[...]
-------------------- snipp! --------------------
As I don't have very much experience with DLT tapes:
Does this indicate a worn out tape or should I simply clean the drive
with the cleaning tape?
How many backups should be possible with a DLT tape / at which intervals
should a tape be changed?
At which intervals should the drive be cleaned?
In this case, the current job is still running and waiting for another
tape. Is there an option to let bacula abort the job, if such an error
occurs?
Cheers,
