Hi All,
I'm wondering if anyone else has run across this. I'm running bacula5.0.2 on
Linux (Centos 5) and I'm getting a timeout whenever I use the mtx-changer
script to load a tape.
I looked at the script and it determines timeout from this:
wait_for_drive() {
i=0
while [ $i -le 300 ]; do # Wait max 300 seconds
if mt -f $1 status 2>&1 | grep "${ready}" >/dev/null 2>&1; then
break
fi
debug "Device $1 - not ready, retrying..."
sleep 1
i=`expr $i + 1`
done
}
but when I issue:
mt -f /dev/nst0 status
I get this:
SCSI 2 tape drive:
File number=-1, block number=-1, partition=0.
Tape block size 0 bytes. Density code 0x0 (default).
Soft error count since last status=0
General status bits on (50000):
DR_OPEN IM_REP_EN
No where does it say 'ready' .
I might be able to kludge something, but I wonder if anyone has a solution to
this. I'd be surprised if it hadn't come up before, unless I'm missing
something obvious, which is certainly very possible.
thanks,
Eli
