Hi folks,
I have a RedHat EL4 server connected through FC to an IBM TS3200 tape
changer with single LTO4 drive with 44 slots. The bacula version is 2.2.5. I
have set the label to use the barcode labels and wiped all 25 tapes in the
changer clean with the command "mt rewind && mt weof && mt rewind" to make
sure all previous label and data entries from earlier tests are completely
gone.
Entry from bacula-sd.conf:
Label Type = IBM
Check Labels = yes
LabelMedia = no;
Following is the sequence of my test run:
1. Checked status of the autochanger just before the job was started.
Confirmed NO tapes loaded in the tape drive.
2. *list media

6. Currently I have more than "30000" and growing lines of the following
message spitted out incessantly.
06-Nov 14:10 nfsserver-sd JobId 1: Warning: Device "LTO4_1" (/dev/IBMtape0)
not configured to autolabel Volumes.
Any ideas why Bacula is unhappy with the tape(s)? Am I doing something wrong
with the labels? I've been testing Bacula for the plus 1+ month and it
consistently gets messed up with the tapes. Help is much appreciated.
Regards,
Win
