lsmod | grep st lsmod | grep lin These are kernel modules and they will not coexist in the same machine, you need to use one or the other Bacula relies on the ancient and crifty "st" (scsi tape) driver and WILL NOT WORK with the IBM/HP "lin_tape" driver, despite these being the recommended and documented things to install if you're using changers with IBM or HP drives HOWEVER: If you have a FC or SAS fabric environment, lin_tape is the ONLY manufacturers supported way of operating correctly. "st" works in a fabric - kind of. Each scsi initiator is treated as a separate device for setting scsi locks, so if the path changes there's a reasonable chance that bacula can no longer eject tapes and the entire system falls down around your ears The actual problem with lin_tape is that it returns an "error code 0 - sucess" for various operations (typical IBM style) which bacula doesn't know how to cope with and treats as a fatal error I raised this with Baculasystems as a bug more than 10 years ago and have been blown off on it every time it's been raised Bareos fixed this this a long time ago, which shows up bacula developers claiming "It's too hard to fix it" _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
