Dear list... I have just replaced my working old DDS-3 streamer with an AIT-1 streamer (dmesg says "SDX-300C"). First I ran "btape AIT" and entered "test" to check if Bacula is happy with that drive. Everything went well (only results shown):
--------------------------------- # btape AIT Tape block granularity is 1024 bytes. btape: butil.c:272 Using device: "AIT" for writing. btape: btape.c:338 open device "AIT" (/dev/nst0): OK *test === Write, rewind, and re-read test === btape: btape.c:820 Rewind OK. 1000 blocks re-read correctly. Got EOF on tape. 1000 blocks re-read correctly. === Test Succeeded. End Write, rewind, and re-read test === === Write, rewind, and position test === Reposition to file:block 1:999 Block 2000 re-read correctly. === Test Succeeded. End Write, rewind, and re-read test === === Append files test === We should be in file 3. I am at file 3. This is correct! We should be in file 4. I am at file 4. This is correct! === Write, backup, and re-read test === Block re-read correct. Test succeeded! === Forward space files test === We should be in file 5. I am at file 5. This is correct! --------------------------------- So everything went well. However when I try to label a tape from bconsole or just enter "stat storage=AIT" the console hangs. I have to kill the console process in another windows to make it quit. CTRL-C or CTRL-Z do not work. Relevant part of my /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf: --------------------------------- Device { Name = AIT Media Type = AIT1 Archive Device = /dev/nst0 AutomaticMount = yes; AlwaysOpen = yes; RemovableMedia = yes; RandomAccess = no; VolumePollInterval = 1 minute OfflineOnUnmount = yes CloseOnPoll = no MaximumOpenWait = 2 days } --------------------------------- Reading and writing using "dd" works well. Writing files and restoring them via "tar cvzf /dev/nst0 ..." and "tar xvzf /dev/nst0" works well. (It didn't work early today. I think I ran "mt -f /dev/nst0 setblk 0" or something on it while looking for solutions on the usenet. Maybe that has changed something regarding the block size.) So I started the storage daemon with "-d100 -f" but it looks that after a few seconds the device is suddenly busy although lsof says that it's the bacula-sd itself blocking the device: --------------------------------- # /usr/sbin/bacula-sd -c /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf -u bacula -g tape -d100 -f bacula-sd: stored_conf.c:656 Inserting director res: torf-mon bacula-sd: stored_conf.c:656 Inserting device res: Streamer bacula-sd: stored_conf.c:656 Inserting device res: AIT torf-sd: jcr.c:116 read_last_jobs seek to 188 torf-sd: jcr.c:123 Read num_items=10 torf-sd: pythonlib.c:100 No script dir. prog=SDStartUp torf-sd: stored.c:453 calling init_dev /mnt/backup torf-sd: dev.c:239 init_dev: tape=0 dev_name=/mnt/backup torf-sd: stored.c:455 SD init done /mnt/backup torf-sd: stored.c:453 calling init_dev /dev/nst0 torf-sd: dev.c:239 init_dev: tape=1 dev_name=/dev/nst0 torf-sd: stored.c:455 SD init done /dev/nst0 torf-sd: stored.c:468 calling first_open_device "Streamer" (/dev/nst0) torf-sd: dev.c:276 open dev: tape=1 dev_name="Streamer" (/dev/nst0) vol= mode=OPEN_READ_ONLY torf-sd: dev.c:323 open dev: device is tape torf-sd: dev.c:338 Try open "Streamer" (/dev/nst0) mode=OPEN_READ_ONLY nonblocking=2048 torf-sd: bnet_server.c:83 Addresses host[ipv4:0.0.0.0:9103] torf-sd: dev.c:369 openmode=3 OPEN_READ_ONLY torf-sd: dev.c:382 open dev: tape 4 opened torf-sd: label.c:71 Enter read_volume_label res=0 device="Streamer" (/dev/nst0) vol= dev_Vol=*NULL* torf-sd: dev.c:627 rewind res=0 fd=4 "Streamer" (/dev/nst0) torf-sd: label.c:138 Big if statement in read_volume_label torf-sd: label.c:143 Requested Volume "" on "Streamer" (/dev/nst0) is not a Bacula labeled Volume, because: ERR=block.c:263 Volume data error at 0:0!
