Hello, I tried to restore one single file from a LTO-4 drive installed into a Quantum SuperLoader3 changer device.
The file in question was just a small (15 kB) one. It was positioned somewhere in the middle of a tape. The tape contained about 200 backup sessions in about 280 "tape-files". About 150 jobs where already purged, the file to be restored was in a session not purged. The tape contained approx. 800 GB and was in "Error"-Condition after a crash some time in the past. I use bacula version 5.0.1 with MySQL on SuSE Enterprise 9. When I did the restore I got the following bootstrap-file: ---------------------8<---------------------- Storage="SuperLoader3" Volume="KYE713L4" MediaType="LTO-4" Device="LTO-4" Slot=1 VolSessionId=129 VolSessionTime=1275651480 VolAddr=1060856922112-1060856999615 FileIndex=111445 Count=1 Storage="SuperLoader3" Volume="KYE713L4" MediaType="LTO-4" Device="LTO-4" Slot=1 VolSessionId=129 VolSessionTime=1275651480 VolAddr=0-1078036843257 FileIndex=111445 Count=1 ---------------------8<---------------------- The restore run "forever" and I cancelled it. Started the storage daemon as following: bacula-sd -vfd 255 | tee sd.log and tried the restore again. The storage daemon read the tape sequentially from the beginning, as could clearly be read in the sd.log without seeking the right file on tape. I created a new bsr with the following ---------------------8<---------------------- Storage="SuperLoader3" Volume="KYE713L4" MediaType="LTO-4" Device="LTO-4" Slot=1 VolSessionId=129 VolSessionTime=1275651480 VolAddr=1060856922112-1060856999615 FileIndex=111445 Count=1 ---------------------8<---------------------- and executed the restore again. This time it just took several minutes to restore the right file and the sd.log contained "fsf 247 files to ...". Perfect! So, what might be the cause for the creation of the erroneous bootstrap entry (VolAddr=0-1078036843257)?
