Hi, The storage daemon crashed last night and restarting it seemed to put things back to normal (I'm still looking into the cause of the crash). The first backup job that ran after the crash marked the tape in Error:
==== 24-May 10:10 server.domain.com-sd JobId 195: Volume "CSE003L4" previously written, moving to end of data. 24-May 10:11 server.domain.com-sd JobId 195: Error: Bacula cannot write on tape Volume "CSE003L4" because: The number of files mismatch! Volume=113 Catalog=112 24-May 10:11 server.domain.com-sd JobId 195: Marking Volume "CSE003L4" in Error in Catalog. ==== So, now I have this tape that is in Error state and is 10% full. I was able to successfully restore from it so the data is accessible and I'm going to keep the tape. I'm wondering: - If a media is marked Error then will voluseduration and volretention policy apply? - Should I expect that this media at some point will be purged based on the retention policy and reused just like any other media? - Is there anything extra I need to do to deal with the Error state? ==== *llist media=CSE003L4 mediaid: 3 volumename: CSE003L4 slot: 4 poolid: 3 mediatype: LTO-4 firstwritten: 2010-04-24 23:04:59 lastwritten: 2010-05-21 23:07:13 labeldate: 2010-04-24 23:04:59 voljobs: 121 volfiles: 112 volblocks: 1,370,859 volmounts: 30 volbytes: 88,436,920,320 volerrors: 0 volwrites: 1,370,860 volcapacitybytes: 0 volstatus: Error enabled: 1 recycle: 1 volretention: 5,184,000 voluseduration: 2,592,000 maxvoljobs: 0 maxvolfiles: 0 maxvolbytes: 0 inchanger: 1 endfile: 112 endblock: 2,041 volparts: 0 labeltype: 0 storageid: 2 deviceid: 0 locationid: 0 recyclecount: 0 initialwrite: scratchpoolid: 0 recyclepoolid: 5 comment: ==== Any suggestions are welcome.
