I am trying to use disk as the backup device. What am I doing wrong? :)

you could trim your mails a little... might make it easier to find what
you're trying to discuss.
Now, that I have resolved that I get the following ..
Reposition to file:block 0:4
26-Feb 08:44 btape: btape Error: block.c:264 Volume data error at 0:4!
Wanted ID: "BB02", got "". Buffer discarded.
This is running btape with disk storage, right? I have never tried it,
because I *know* that file positioning works with file based volumes :-)
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.
Obviously, the default is variable block storage for tape devices but
I am using disk. Therefore it is fixed block. I have tried the
following settings ..
Block Positioning = no
Fast Forward Space File = no
but to no avail ..
Why don't you try the sample configuration for file storage? I think
that you're well advised using that because it works here :-) especially
leaving the block size at default should help a lot. Anything fancy like
Positioning etc. is not used by the file storage code, I think, because
there is no such thing as the necessary IOCTL there... "Random Access =
Yes" should be used instead.
Any ideas??
I think so...

Below is the /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf file ...
I am not seeing any issues .. I have consulted ..
