-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey all,
I've got something strange going on here, looks like. Apparently Bacula had trouble finding the end of the tape on this one. However, it is a nearly brand new tape. The drive appears as if it may have needed cleaning, and I wonder if it perhaps wrote a bad file mark at some point because the drive was dirty (or somehow missed writing one at all). In any case, something strange is happening. According to my catalog, this volume contains 4 "volume files". However, btape appears to be able to find more than this: # /opt/csw/sbin/btape helios_DDS Tape block granularity is 1024 bytes. btape: butil.c:286 Using device: "helios_DDS" for writing. btape: btape.c:368 open device "helios_DDS" (/dev/rmt/0cbn): OK *scan btape: btape.c:1630 Starting scan at file 0 1751 blocks of 64512 bytes in file 0 End of File mark. 2152 blocks of 64512 bytes in file 1 End of File mark. 2256 blocks of 64512 bytes in file 2 End of File mark. 1893 blocks of 64512 bytes in file 3 End of File mark. 542 blocks of 64512 bytes in file 4 End of File mark. 18 blocks of 64512 bytes in file 5 End of File mark. 1830 blocks of 64512 bytes in file 6 End of File mark. 2822 blocks of 64512 bytes in file 7 End of File mark. btape: btape.c:1637 Bad status from read -1. ERR=btape.c:1636 read error on /dev/rmt/0cbn. ERR=I/O error. It looks like there are 7 "good" "files" on there, and that anything after that is not in a good state, however, I know that only 4 of those "files" are referenced in my backups. How can I fix this? At the very least, I'd like to shelve this tape until its next use (in a few weeks), and make try to make the catalog match the tape. Is bscan appropriate in this circumstance? How safe is bscan on a tape like this? - -- ---- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | |Ryan Novosielski - Systems Programmer III |$&| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| |[EMAIL PROTECTED] - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent.|IST/AST - NJMS Medical Science Bldg - C630 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGZD/Xmb+gadEcsb4RAtzqAJ941AcdYu/xkHceyiIIIPbtVbWINACeLLU0 XiWoea1oeFh5jz4gJbpgu/4= =g5BR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
