Hi, Thanks for your reply. I have changed my bacula-sd.conf configuration since a couple of weeks, and removed the mount.sh and umount.sh scripts. So far I have not received the tape error anymore.
I did run the btape test as suggested, and seems like I have more modification to make. Let me know your thoughts. # btape test output: https://dpaste.de/0Qme/raw # Current bacula-sd.conf: Device { Name = ibm-dds6 Media Type = DDS6 Device Type = tape Archive Device = /dev/nst0 AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it AlwaysOpen = no; Hardware End of Medium = yes; Two EOF = Yes RemovableMedia = yes; RandomAccess = no; } # mt -f /dev/nst0 status drive type = Generic SCSI-2 tape drive status = 1207959552 sense key error = 0 residue count = 0 file number = 0 block number = 0 Tape block size 0 bytes.
