A few weeks ago I posted to this list with a problem concerning my tapes encountering errors around the 100G mark which resulted in bacula ending them and moving onto another tape.
As suggested, I swapped the SCSI card for an Adaptec unit, however the problem persists: 22-Jun 12:16 gemini-sd: Sending spooled attrs to the Director. Despooling 217,482,871 bytes ... 22-Jun 12:42 gemini-sd: Committing spooled data to Volume. Despooling 18,631,986,113 bytes ... 22-Jun 12:42 gemini-sd: cygnus_new.2006-06-22_08.58.01 Error: block.c:552 Write error at 104:2205 on device /dev/nst0. ERR=Device or resource busy. 22-Jun 12:43 gemini-sd: cygnus_new.2006-06-22_08.58.01 Error: Re-read of last block failed. Last block=125230 Current block=0. 22-Jun 12:43 gemini-sd: End of medium on Volume "10" Bytes=104,135,520,221 Blocks=1,614,205 at 22-Jun-2006 12:43. 22-Jun 12:45 gemini-dir: Recycled volume "11" 22-Jun 12:45 gemini-sd: Please mount Volume "11" on Storage Device "DLT-160" for Job cygnus_new.2006-06-22_08.58.01 This does not happen with all tapes. As before, the tapes are 160/320G DLTv4 tapes. Many were previously used as DLT-VS160 (capacity: 80/160G), these have been bulk erased so should be good to write on - though unfortunately I don't have any means of finding out which ones these are as they're all mixed in with tapes which have never been used before. The tape drive (a Quantum DLTv4) cannot and will not write onto tapes which were previously written as DLT-VS160's unless they're bulk-erased first. Bacula version 1.36.3-r2, director and storage daemon both on the same box. Any suggestions or should I just cycle out any tapes which give this error? James.
