The pithy ruminations from "Jeremiah D. Jester" <jj...@u.washington.edu> on
"[Bacula-users] 124t users?" were:
=> I've been having ongoing issues with bacula and my 124t. Anyone out there
having any problems? If not, would like to know that as well. Maybe we can
compare storage conf files?
I've been using Dell PowerVault 132t[1] libraries for about 5. It's not the
same hardware, but close enough that I may be able to help. We've gone from 2x
LTO2 (SCSI=>FC bridge) to 2xLTO3 (native FC), and use the system heavily with
minimal issues...most of which have been:
logical device identification (/dev/nst0 vrs /dev/nst1 not always
corresponding to the
same physical drives)
buggy Linux FC drivers (old issue, gone since Fedora Core 1 in our case)
mechanical (very rarely a drive doesn't want to eject a tape, the picker
gets 'stuck')
The most frequent issues we've had have been with bacula (version 1.38.x
through 5.0.2) --for example, sometimes it'll repeatedly want to use a volume
that's not in the changer, despite copious use of "update slots", etc.
