When I run the btape test suite it completes no problem. I only get this bug when I run btape fill over multiple tapes. It happens when it switches tapes.
If the current tape in the drive is not the tape from slot 1. When it loads the tape in slot 1 I get the error then it carries on no problem. Once it switches to the tape in slot 2 I get the same fatal error but it completes the fill test without issues. Also running unfill does not show the data being incorrect. If the tape in the drive is the tape from slot 1 I only receive the error when it switches to the tape in slot 2. Just before I put this project on hold I had made the decision to ignore the error and push on to see if it was just a btape issue. Good to know that I am no longer alone.

I submitted a Mantis ticket for the btape bug but just for the fact that btape reports a fatal error but still says that the test passed at the end - this is a bug with btape. I figured I would ask if there other parameters to change and try that before filing a bug for btape fatal error itself. Well, some one has already added a note to my report and he is using Oracle's RHEL clone and a different tape drive. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- (0004283) jbroughton (reporter) - 2009-06-10 18:27 http://bugs.bacula.org/view.php?id=1309#c4283 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Verified by doing the following: A) rewind tape, weof, then ran btape fill and got: 10-Jun 11:19 btape: Fatal Error at dev.c:1705 because: dev.c:1704 Attempt to WEOF on non-appendable Volume B) Just in case, I rewound the tape again, weof, then created a volume on the tape from bconsole, and ran the btape fill, and recieved the same error message.
