Hi,
Primo: I checked out the SVN repository with no problem.
Will try to use it as a reference in the future.
Secundo: Forgot to tell about configuration. This is an IBM
xSeries host with CentOS 4.3. DDS-5 internal drive (working
perfectly), and IBM TS3310 tape library, with two LTO-3
drives connected directly (i mean without FC switch) to
two QLogic QLA2460 HBA. IBM tape drivers taken from
IBM site. Catalog is created in PostgreSQL 8.1.5.
Bacula 2.0.2. Both pg and bacula compiled from
sources.
Ad rem:
I didn't give up with 2.0.2 yesterday. After btape failed
in second test. The error I got was:
----------------------------
btape: dev.c:2405 dev_get_os_pos
============================
I took at the code. Near line 2405 (ver. 2.0.2) found:
----------------------------
stat = tape_ioctl(fd, MTIOCTOP, (char *)&mt_com);
if (stat < 0 || !dev_get_os_pos(this, &mt_stat)) {
berrno be;
============================
So, I made a "bad" change:
----------------------------
stat = tape_ioctl(fd, MTIOCTOP, (char *)&mt_com);
! dev_get_os_pos(this, &mt_stat);
! if (stat < 0) {
berrno be;
============================
Awful, but it works. Precisely, it still failed this test,
but btape continued with other ones. And the rest of tests
gave me hints how to correct my "Device" entries in
SD config. I got:
----------------------------
Hardware End of Medium = No
Fast Forward Space File = No
BSF at EOM = yes
============================
Now, original btape works correctly. So, my little suggestion
about modifying btape util is to allow (query about) to
continue the tests even if one of the tests fails. Hints
are useful and help to correctly configure the drive...
unless you see them :-)
------
Summa:
The bad news is I still cannot use my TS3310. The problem
occurs when tape is reinserted into drive. Bacula cannot
add another job to the tape. The volume is marked with
"error" and the new one (from "Scratch" in my case)
is used. Everything works fine, jobs are stored correctly,
until newly used tape is removed from drive by changer.
Will tell more/ask later, plan to do more tests to get
more information which, I hope, could help you to help me :-)
Regards
Mariusz
