Hello everyone,
I've got a problem that's been recurring with some of my tapes. I've got
a Quantum SuperLoader 3 with several brand new SDLT-600 tapes. Sometimes
when bacula tries to write to one of these tapes for the first time, it
fails and the tape's status changes to error. This happens even when
bacula succesfully labels a tape.
So to investigate this even more, I would load up a problematic tape
with btape. I ran the commands, readlabel and rectest successfully, but
I always fail with the command wr and test commands.
What I'm trying to find out is, what's causing this problem? The tapes?
The tape drive? Bacula? And also what do those errors mean?
Here's the output of some commands:
-------------------

I'm going to write 1000 records and an EOF
then write 1000 records and an EOF, then rewind,
and re-read the data to verify that it is correct.
This is an *essential* feature ...
