Hi, been using bacula under Fedora for years on various SCSI DAT and DLT4 drives with no problems. I just got a QUANTUM DLT VS160 off of eBay and it came with 1 tape, stamped with "VS160" on the plastic case. I set things up and it labelled and wrote perfectly. The system is to back up lots of archive data (CCTV recordings) so I then bought a bunch of Sony VS160/360 tapes and earmarked them for the CCTV pool, intending to label each one on demand as Bacula filled them up. These have "VS!" stamped on them in the same place on their case. This was going well in as far as the label went, but immediately the drive started giving i/o errors and in fact after the bacula unmount even mt -f /dev/st1 eject gave this too - I had to reboot the machine and use the physical button to eject. Thinking that somehow the brand new tape was bad I opened another and the same happened. I then went back to the single tape which was supplied with it and labelled that as the first of the pool, and it wrote 80G perfectly, in fact its now asking for the next tape. Have I misunderstood something regarding the compatibility of these other tapes please?
