Hi everybody, i'm running bacula 2.0.3 on i686 centos5. There are two Sony AIT3 drives in a qualcomm tapelibrary connected via fibre channel using qla2300 cards.
Right now i got the following error: ... 10-Okt 19:55 backup-cluster-sd: New volume "A00183" mounted on device "Sony-1" (/dev/nst0) at 10-Okt-2007 19:55. 11-Okt 04:09 backup-cluster-sd: misc.2007-10-10_09.44.39 Error: block.c:569 Write error at 24:10551 on device "Sony-1" (/dev/nst0). ERR=Eingabe-/Ausgabefehler. 11-Okt 04:09 backup-cluster-sd: misc.2007-10-10_09.44.39 Error: Error writing final EOF to tape. This Volume may not be readable. dev.c:1688 ioctl MTWEOF error on "Sony-1" (/dev/nst0).

The system log records the following at the same time: ... Oct 11 04:09:53 kernel: st0: Current: sense key: Medium Error Oct 11 04:09:53 kernel: Additional sense: Write error Oct 11 04:09:53 kernel: Info fld=0xa8 Oct 11 04:09:53 kernel: st0: Current: sense key: Medium Error Oct 11 04:09:53 kernel: Additional sense: Write error ... The only reason i could guess right away for that is the tape being broken, yet it is a brandnew one. However my question: Is there a way to make bacula discard the whole tape and rewrite what was written to it onto another one, again? What do other people do on such an error?
