Hello, I don't know why you want to disable the rewind. The rewind is essential, and is not the problem (1.36.3 also did a rewind). I suspect that your autoloader script is not waiting long enough for the drive to stabilize.
You probably increased the default wait period in your prior version, so you most likely need to do the same here, or turn on the code that automatically detects when the drive is ready -- take a look at the mtx-changer script; it should be rather obvious what to do. Re-running btape "test" after your upgrade is always a good idea and probably would have pointed out the problem. > Hi > > I've upgraded from 1.36.3 to 1.38.9 a few weeks back and after a few > weeks of successful backups I've decided to try to restore some jobs to > make sure the restoring is working.
