Hi there, we had this toic befor and I#m back again...
My Backupjobs started to use less tape space then expected a year ago the System is quiet aged so this is running on a 2003 SBS with a bacula version 3 Like I said it started from one day to the other that tapes got written on but less then the expected 350+ GB for a LTO3 tape. what Ive done so far: - changed terminator - canged cable - changed the drive - changed the whole autoloader - used brand new tapes - cleaned drive a dozen times - used HP tools to check for problems nothing really help, in fact its getting even worse. We started with 3 tapes for less then 1TB and now Im at 6 tapes for 1,2 TB of data. I get this line for every Tape that reaches the "end" of the tape or better bacula thinks its the end 02-May 17:12 fg-back-sd JobId 11840: Error: Error writing final EOF to tape. This Volume may not be readable. /home/kern/bacula/k/bacula/src/stored/dev.c:1723 ioctl MTWEOF error on "LTO3" (Tape0). ERR=Input/output error. but some post on the list suggest this is normal for a windows environement and I got this when all worked well too. The strange part is I havent changed any config at all. since I know some people will tell me without logs and stuff there is nothing to tell I will not ask for possible causes because we going to change the backup in autmn anyway and we will move on from bacula with all the problems we had over the last year. But back to my question, is there any thing that bacula does to mark the end of a tape even its not the end? And additional is it possible to remove this marker (if it exist possibly in the database) . Like I said in my opinion its not passible that 4 brand new tapes have errors arround 200GB of written data.
