Hello,
Unfortunately without the *complete* job output from Bacula when "Bacula
called the tape full", we cannot do much for you.
You should also look and see if there are any messages in the OS log at
the time the tape was declared full. If there are any please include
them too.
Best regards,
Kern

Hi folks,
Setting up Bacula 7.0.5 on Centos 7, backing up to a HPE LTO-5 Ultrium
3000 external SAS drive. Everything going fairly smoothly; bacula-sd
finds the drive and btape-test reports full success. However, tried
doing a test backup from a Win client using a directory of 134Gb.
Backup started and appeared to run normally, then after about 21Gb
written to tape, Bacula called tape full and requested a new tape be
mounted!
I've seen discussions re: block sizes on LTO-5 devices, but much of it
a bit over my head. This is the first LT0-5 device I've used although
had great success with LT0-4 devices. Here it the output of Tapeinfo:

"Medium type - not loaded", there was a tape in the drive, so not sure
what that means.
And the resource definitions from the conf files:
------------resource def. from
bacula-dir-------------------------------------------------
# Definition of LTO-5 tape device
Storage {
Name = LTO-5
##Do not use "localhost" here
Address = godwit.domus-bka.local # N.B. Use a fully
qualified name here
SDPort = 9103
Password = "godwitBackup" # password for Storage daemon
Device = LTO-5 # must be same as Device in
Storage daemon
Media Type = LTO-5 # must be same as MediaType in
Storage daemon
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 10
}
------------resource def. from
bacula-sd-------------------------------------------------
# A Linux or Solaris LTO-5 tape drive
Device {
Name = LTO-5
Media Type = LTO-5
Archive Device = /dev/st0
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
AutoChanger = no
Maximum File Size = 25GB
## Changer Command = "/usr/libexec/bacula/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
## Changer Device = /dev/sg0
## AutoChanger = yes
# # Enable the Alert command only if you have the mtx package loaded
Alert Command = "sh -c 'tapeinfo -f %c |grep TapeAlert|cat'"
## If you have smartctl, enable this, it has more info than tapeinfo
## Alert Command = "sh -c 'smartctl -H -l error %c'"
}
------------end-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Any insight as to what may be happening here, or config items I've
left out would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks much!
