I used Bacula 7.4.5 successfully for around 2 years with an IBM
ULTRIUM-HH7 SAS drive and FlexStor II autoloader (Neoseries) on Arch
Linux. Backups and restores worked perfectly.
Last month I upgraded to Bacula 9.2.2. Backups worked without error but
I noticed "list volumes" reporting a 25 TB volume (not 6 TB as usual). A
subsequent test restore failed due to a volume data error.
I followed the Bacula troubleshooting web page [1], trying mt defblksize
0 then a btape test. This reported the same error.
Downgrading back to Bacula 7.4.5 did not resolve the issue.
I upgraded to Bacula 9.4.1 but the issue remains.
A log of the commands and configuration is below.
Any suggestions on what to try next much appreciated. Thanks.
