Checking simple stuff: What output for 'lsscsi'?
What output for 'ps aux| grep -i bacula'? Try removing tape, physically sliding tape protection slider all the way closed (write protected), then all the way open (not write protected). I think should maybe be a click each direction? Take different known blank tape with definitely no useful information on it, try same mt commands. Remember that after rewind / writing eof you must relabel the tape. Since existing tape has same name in bacula catalog (assuming you name with barcodes), will need to delete old volume with same name to allow relabeling as that name. BE CERTAIN YOU DELETE CORRECT VOLUME. Alternatively, can rename as oldname-1. I think it is better to delete old volume since rewind / writing eof definitely makes recovery of data on that tape impossible without specialized firmware on tape drive. Good idea to remove all tapes with important information from the tape changer prior to doing any destructive operations like mt rewind/ write eof. Remember, after manually moving tapes around in changer, should update bacula's knowledge of the tape changer inventory by doing update slots. Be sure to update slots 1-24 or how ever many you have (0 does not mean "all slots"). I have typically done Volume deletes, labeling, update slots, etc, in Bacularis / baculum.
