Hi, In case anyone has the same problem, I can now confirm that the end of tape error is solved (no message after a real test with 2TB (~ 400,000 files) of actual data. The restore of that same backup is successful and the sha1sum of all files OK).
The non documented error message mentioned before is just label related (fails to find an ANSI label on the new tapes). This should actually probably appear as a warning and not an error in the bacula logs. best, Gnewbee Hi all, > > I wanted to let you know that this issue (which seemed a buffering > problem, delaying the arrival of the end of tape message to bacula) seems > to have been fixed by an update of my sas hba card drivers. > The issue was differently reported in btape (the overall message saying it > is OK) and in actual runs so maybe some caution is required there in > interpreting the results of btape fill (which I ran in 'm' mode). > > I now still have an error message during runs although with an empty > description: > > > > Wrote label to prelabeled Volume "0028L5" on device "LTO5" (/dev/nst0) > > Error: > > alzymr-dir Using Device "LTO5" > > > alzymr-sd > > Error: > > alzymr-sd Wrote label to prelabeled Volume "0029L5" on device "LTO5" > (/dev/nst0) > > > > I admit that I am at a loss there.
