I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction - faulty drive, incorrect settings, faulty tape.... (I hope it's something that simple)
I've run the archive job again, and again Bacula has reported the media as full after just ~200GB. However when I do llist volume=<volumename> it reports a different "VolBytes" to "Last Volume Bytes", which I assume should be the same? Any idea's? 19-Apr 06:58 ubuntu-sd JobId 240: JobId=240 Job="Archive.2012-04-19_02.26.11_03" marked to be canceled. 19-Apr 06:58 ubuntu-sd JobId 240: Job write elapsed time = 04:32:04, Transfer rate = 14.60 M Bytes/second 19-Apr 06:58 ubuntu-dir JobId 240: Bacula ubuntu-dir 5.0.1 (24Feb10): 19-Apr-2012 06:58:18 Build OS: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu ubuntu 10.04 JobId: 240 Job: Archive.2012-04-19_02.26.11_03 Backup Level: Full Client: "ubuntu-fd" 5.0.1 (24Feb10) x86_64-pc-linux-gnu,ubuntu,10.04 FileSet: "FileSet1" 2011-05-23 14:23:25 Pool: "Pool1" (From Job resource) Catalog: "MyCatalog" (From Client resource) Storage: "LTO-3" (From Job resource) Scheduled time: 19-Apr-2012 02:26:06 Start time: 19-Apr-2012 02:26:13 End time: 19-Apr-2012 06:58:18 Elapsed time: 4 hours 32 mins 5 secs Priority: 10 FD Files Written: 9,215 SD Files Written: 9,215 FD Bytes Written: 238,439,334,305 (238.4 GB) SD Bytes Written: 238,437,145,970 (238.4 GB) Rate: 14605.8 KB/s Software Compression: None VSS: no Encryption: no Accurate: no Volume name(s): 20120419 Volume Session Id: 1 Volume Session Time: 1334794882 Last Volume Bytes: 407,329,219,584 (407.3 GB) Non-fatal FD errors: 0 SD Errors: 0 FD termination status: Canceled SD termination status: Canceled Termination: Backup Canceled *llist volume=20120419 MediaId: 51 VolumeName: 20120419 Slot: 0 PoolId: 4 MediaType: LTO-3 FirstWritten: 2012-04-19 02:26:13 LastWritten: 2012-04-19 04:54:25 LabelDate: 2012-04-19 02:26:13 VolJobs: 1 VolFiles: 239 VolBlocks: 3,698,757 VolMounts: 1 VolBytes: 238,614,276,096 VolErrors: 0 VolWrites: 3,698,759 VolCapacityBytes: 0 VolStatus: Full Enabled: 1 Recycle: 1 VolRetention: 315,360,000 VolUseDuration: 0 MaxVolJobs: 0 MaxVolFiles: 0 MaxVolBytes: 644,245,094,400 InChanger: 0 EndFile: 238 EndBlock: 9,757 VolParts: 0 LabelType: 0 StorageId: 2 DeviceId: 0 LocationId: 0 RecycleCount: 0 InitialWrite: 0000-00-00 00:00:00 ScratchPoolId: 0 RecyclePoolId: 0 Comment: NULL On Wed, 2012-04-18 at 22:19 +0200, Andre Rossouw wrote: > Thanks for the replies.
