hi all.
i'm running bacula 2.4.4 in a debian/etch environment (i know that it is
a bit outdated; but there is even one debian/sarge host that i cannot
really update...)
bacula is doing a nightly backup ("full" every 3 months or so, "diff"
every week, and "incr" every night) onto an autochanger (Quantum
SuperLoader3, btw)
due to some scsi resets, 2 of my daily pool tapes have been flagged as
"Full" even though they are virtually empty (e.g. 4% fill state).
my tape pool has settled nicely, to use (almost) all tapes in the
changer, and having to add a new tape just because two empty tapes are
flagged as "full" seems to be a waste of ressources.
since the tape in question are part of the "incremental" strategy, i'd
rather not "purge" them.
is there a way to manually force a tape to be "appendable" again?
in "bat" i see that i could change the volum status to anything, even
"Append", but i want to make sure that this is a good idea.
thanks in advance.
