I have an IBM VS160 tape drive.
First I exercised the drive with tar & it seems to work fine.
I added the following device definition to my bacula-sd.conf:
Device {
Name = VS160-1 #
Media Type = VS160
Archive Device = /dev/nst0
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
# Enable the Alert command only if you have the mtx package loaded
Alert Command = "sh -c 'tapeinfo -f %c |grep TapeAlert|cat'"
}
I then restarted the sd.
I did "btape -c /usr/bin/bacula/bacula-sd.conf /dev/nst0"
and got the
Tape block granularity is 1024 bytes.
btape: btape.c:XXX Using device: /dev/nst0
(I put in the XXX because I think it was a different line number)
I don't think the asterisk prompt ever appeared. I typed "test" and hit
return.
Nothing happened for several minutes and the tape didn't move.
Eventually I control-C'd out of it.
Subsequent tape accesses (mt or tar) yield:
/dev/nst0: Device or resource busy
I looked in my messages log and see this:
Jun 30 11:36:43 otter kernel: st0: MTSETDRVBUFFER only allowed for root.
Any ideas ? This tape drive is used nightly by Backup Edge and gets
successful bit-level verifies of sets over 100GB.
I'm thinking I'll have to reboot to get my tape drive back now.
Thanks in advance.
Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
