Hi All, my client has two SCSI tapes. One AIT3 (Sony-SDX700) and one AIT4 (Sony-SDX900). Both are external and connected to the same controller (LSI Logic 53c1030) on one Channel. The bacula version is 1.36.3. Host OS is SuSE Linux 9.2 with kernel 2.6.8.
This setup issues "Device at EOM" Errors from time to time. Sometimes the jobs run without problems, sometimes not. The "Device at EOM" errors appear on both tapes. Only one job is saved to the AIT-4 (the biggest job) and the rest (5 more) to the AIT-3 tape. There is always only one job run at a time. I found the "Device at EOM" error on the mailing list and read about checking that the tapes are running with Blocksize = 0. I found out that the AIT-3 tape was running with a blocksize of 512. I changed this with the mt tool but had still errors. We tried this setup for about three weeks and then removed the older AIT-3 tape from the config and disconnected it from the SCSI-bus. Since then everything worked perfecty! That is nice now but would be nicer if it was possible to use both tapes again. I found the last message on the mailing list with a similar error from the end of 2005. So maybe an update of bacula / kernel would help!? Thanks in advance.
