If anyone else encounters a similar problem, we narrowed it down to the SAS card. We were using a Dell PERC 5/E in the Gen 3 PowerEdge 2950 server running Debian 6, and later Debian 7.
As a workaround, we have installed Bacula on another server with PCI-X based SAS cards that use mtx to load an unload the library perfectly, and mounted our existing backups using NFS. We have ordered a PERC 6/E dual port SAS card, if this resolves the problem I will update the thread accordingly. Thanks to all for your suggestions and help! +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by compo...@gmail.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
