I'm working on setting up Bacula on an IBM Ultrium-HH4 (a google search which returns NO results for bacula), bare drive, no changer, and was running the btape tests. I got some errors, but I don't think they're serious.
The first one I think is because I manually set the block size to 128K, per some LTO4 discussion that I read. I may play with other block sizes to see if I can speed up the drive. Anyway, on the Append test, I got this: btape: btape.c:1577 Wrote one record of 130972 bytes. btape: btape.c:1579 Wrote block to device. btape: btape.c:505 Wrote 1 EOF to "LTO4DRIVE" (/dev/st0) btape: btape.c:475 Rewound "LTO4DRIVE" (/dev/st0) Done appending, there should be no I/O errors Doing Bacula scan of blocks: 1 block of 131008 bytes in file 1 End of File mark. 2 blocks of 131008 bytes in file 2 End of File mark. 3 blocks of 131008 bytes in file 3 End of File mark. 1 block of 131008 bytes in file 4 End of File mark. Total files=4, blocks=7, bytes = 917,056 End scanning the tape. We should be in file 4. I am at file 4. This is correct! The above Bacula scan should have output identical to what follows. Please double check it ... === Sample correct output === 1 block of 64448 bytes in file 1 End of File mark. 2 blocks of 64448 bytes in file 2 End of File mark. 3 blocks of 64448 bytes in file 3 End of File mark. 1 block of 64448 bytes in file 4 End of File mark. Total files=4, blocks=7, bytes = 451,136 === End sample correct output === All the file counts are correct, just the byte counts are, due to the block size. I assume I can count the output as "identical" for all intents and purposes? Second error: Do you want to run the simplified test (s) with one tape or the complete multiple tape (m) test: (s/m) s Simple test (single tape) selected. Mount blank Volume on device "LTO4DRIVE" (/dev/st0) and press return when ready: 19-Nov 22:20 btape: Fatal Error at dev.c:1663 because: dev.c:1662 Attempt to WEOF on non-appendable Volume Wrote Volume label for volume "TestVolume1". Wrote Start of Session label. 22:20:50 Begin writing Bacula records to tape ... And it went on to successful completion of the test. Was it non-appendable because it didn't have a Volume Label yet? Is there something else I should be looking for? Third "error:" *unfill 20-Nov 02:10 btape JobId 0: Ready to read from volume "TestVolume1" on device "LTO4DRIVE" (/dev/st0). Rewinding. Reading the first 10000 records from 0:0. 10000 records read now at 1:2502 Reposition from 1:2502 to 1003:2752 Reading block 2752. The last block on the tape matches. Test succeeded. 20-Nov 02:10 btape: Fatal Error because: Bacula interrupted by signal 11: Segmentation violation Kaboom! btape, btape got signal 11 - Segmentation violation. Attempting traceback. The traceback hung and hung, and I finally had to kill -9 btape, and I got no output. The "unfill" worked, but the btape segfaulted for some reason. I guess the data on the tape is OK? This is with Bacula 2.4.2 and the SourceForge EL5 RPM's on CentOS 5.2.
