Dear Martin,
Sorry for the delay, but I wanted to get a "fresh tape", but I ended up
removing one from my library with 35 tapes (all in use by bacula). After using
the correct "query.sql" I was able to identify a possible tape.
So I ran btape and it did not report any problem (see below)
I will also attach my bacula-sd.conf. Do you need any other configuration files?
The currently used bacula version is 9.6.3 (09 March 2020) installed via the
Debian-Servers (testing).
Best,
Christian

Doing Bacula scan of blocks:

1 block of 64448 bytes in file 4
End of File mark.
Total files=4, blocks=7, bytes = 451,136
End scanning the tape.
We should be in file 4. I am at file 4. This is correct!
The above Bacula scan should have output identical to what follows.
Please double check it ...
=== Sample correct output ===
1 block of 64448 bytes in file 1
End of File mark.
2 blocks of 64448 bytes in file 2
End of File mark.
3 blocks of 64448 bytes in file 3
End of File mark.
1 block of 64448 bytes in file 4
End of File mark.
Total files=4, blocks=7, bytes = 451,136
=== End sample correct output ===
If the above scan output is not identical to the
sample output, you MUST correct the problem
or Bacula will not be able to write multiple Jobs to
the tape.
=== Write, backup, and re-read test ===
I'm going to write three records and an EOF
then backup over the EOF and re-read the last record.
Bacula does this after writing the last block on the
tape to verify that the block was written correctly.
This is not an *essential* feature ...

It could be a problem with the driver or the Bacula config.
Have you tried running the btape test command recently? See
