Hi List,
this is the last bacula message: 01-Sep 08:31 backup-sd-bb: 3301 Issuing autochanger "loaded? drive 0" command. 01-Sep 08:31 backup-sd-bb: 3302 Autochanger "loaded? drive 0", result is Slot 20. 01-Sep 08:31 backup-sd-bb: Volume "FUL110" previously written, moving to end of data. status sd Autochanger "JBBB" with devices: "JBBB-1" (/dev/nst0) "JBBB-2" (/dev/nst1) Device "JBBB-1" (/dev/nst0) is mounted with: Volume: FUL110 Pool: FUL Media type: SDLT-320 Device is being initialized. Slot 20 is loaded in drive 0. Total Bytes Read=0 Blocks Read=0 Bytes/block=0 Positioned at File=0 Block=0 tape library drive status Tape Motion Reading since one hour the "end of data" is not found ... looks like a defective tape. how does bacula find the end of data? first forward to the last written file/block, and if this fails, reading the tape from beginning to find the end of data? this could explain the tape motion "Reading" and the time it took, the tape was filled with 175GB. i have canceled this operation by shutting down the sd and ejecting the tape with mtx. is there a better way to handle this ? Regards Thomas grrrr, the next tape failed also: 01-Sep 11:14 backup-sd-bb: zlato.bb.ic3s.de.2007-08-31_23.01.10 Error: Unable to position to end of data on device "JBBB-1" (/dev/nst0): ERR=dev.c:885 ioctl MTEOM error on "JBBB-1" (/dev/nst0).
