Hello All, I'm setting up Bacula 1.38.11 with Postgresql on a dual Opteron system running FC4 and a HP Storageworks DAT-72 external SCSI tape drive. The tape drive is not behaving well and I'm trying to isolate whether it's a Bacula issue or my system. I'm hoping list members can enlighten me as to what might be going on by looking through these log files---
Following are scsi references in my dmesg: ........3w-9xxx: scsi0: AEN: INFO (0x04:0x0053): Battery capacity test is overdue:. scsi0 : 3ware 9000 Storage Controller 3w-9xxx: scsi0: Found a 3ware 9000 Storage Controller at 0xfcffd000, IRQ: 217. 3w-9xxx: scsi0: Firmware FE9X 2.08.00.006, BIOS BE9X 2.03.01.052, Ports: 4.
