did you try the "fill" command? > In addition, do not know how btape can help since the error runs from the > backup of data recorded on the 20GB cartridge. "test" tests general tape functions. "fill" tests writing to the entire tape and detection of the end, continuation to a second tape. etc. If it breaks at 20Gb on "fill", try John's suggestion: "tar cvf /dev/nst0 /dev/sda" (or other large disk full of data. Partition tables don't matter. You're simply testing writing) Cable/terminator errors are normally random. If multiple tapes are erroring at the same point then there's usually another problem. Having said that: 20Gb is about one tape forward pass on LTO4 with "average" data compression levels. (LTO tapes are recorded in a series of data stripes and the tape passes backwards and forwards multiple times to be filled.) The drive will record "end of tape" if there is excessive back-tension and bacula translates that to "full" Have the tapes been dropped? Have you tried the test with a completely unrelated LTO4 cartridge? Did you download the HP LT&T tools?
