Hi!
When running btest I get errors. The documentation says that OnStream
drives work with bacula 1.33 and osst 0.9.14.
Here the bacula-sd.conf part:
> Device {
> Name = "Onstream"
> Description = "OnStream drive on Linux"
> Media Type = ADR50
> Archive Device = /dev/nosst0
> AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
> AlwaysOpen = yes
> Offline On Unmount = no
> # The min/max blocksizes of 32768 are *required*
> Minimum Block Size = 32768
> Maximum Block Size = 32768
> # Removeable Media = yes
> # Two EOF = no
> # BSF at EOM = no
> # Backward Space File = yes
> Fast Forward Space File = no
> }
I also set the blocksize for the tape:
mt -f /dev/nosst0 setblk 32768
I get the following test output:
> === Write, rewind, and position test ===
>
> I'm going to write 1000 records and an EOF

I know that in this newsgroup where older postings about this tape drive.
Thanks in advance
