im having a problem getting bacula to work properly. Its a fresh install, i think its properly configured, when ever i run the job to test the backup i get:
Device status: Device "/dev/nst0" open but no Bacula volume is mounted. Device is BLOCKED waiting for appendable media. Total Bytes Read=0 Blocks Read=0 Bytes/block=0 Positioned at File=0 Block=0 i even tried putting the "real" device name in the config file "st0" and that doesnt work either. also when i try to label the tape i get: Enter new Volume name: BackupSet1 Automatically selected Pool: Default Connecting to Storage daemon DDS-3 at mail:9103 ... Sending relabel command from "BackupSet01" to "BackupSet1" ... block.c:782 Read error at file:blk 0:0 on device /dev/nst0. ERR=Input/output error. 3000 OK label. Volume=BackupSet1 Device=/dev/nst0 Catalog record for Volume "BackupSet1", Slot 0 successfully created. Old volume "BackupSet01" deleted from catalog. Requesting to mount DDS-3 ... 3001 OK mount. Device=/dev/nst0 this has happened on two brand new tapes. it has an error, but then goes along to actually complete the label, is this ok? is it just that the tape doesnt spin up fast enough or something? ive googled about this and came up with a couple things related to labeling the tape but none of them seemed to work. do any of you have any other suggestions on how to track down this problem? thanks Nick ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
