Hi all,
New installation of Bacula, and I'm a new user; I apologize if there's
something that I overlooked.
Bacula is installed in testing mode on Open SUSE 10.2. Version is 2.2.8.
The device is a Quantum SuperLoader3 with one DLT-S4 tape drive.
I ran btape - test and it worked fine, and I continued to the autochanger
test. That also passed without error. Then I went to run btape - fill and
that is where I ran into some problems. It appeared to me to work okay, but
there was an error writing to the second volume (apparently trying to
label?); then the second volume was apparently written properly, the first
volume remounted, and the last block on the first volume didn't read.
Here's the transcript:

Rewinding.
Reading the first 10000 records from 0:0.
10000 records read now at 1:5084
Reposition from 1:5084 to 1180:15500
Reading block 15500.
Error reading block: ERR=block.c:1008 Read zero bytes at 1180:0 on device
"Drive-1" (/dev/nst0).
Also, I'd presume that we'd want to have compression turned on - if anyone
has a comment on that, I'd be appreciative.
Obviously, this is in test mode, so tearing stuff down won't be a problem.
It kind of looked to me like the drive somehow cached the last block that it
thought it read on the first tape - but I am as yet sufficiently unfamilar
with Bacula to really know. I'm grateful for any help, pointers, or RTFMs
that anyone might have. Thanks!
