Hello Daniel,
Did you run the btape tests? were the tests successful?
All tapes need to be blank tapes before you label them in Bacula.
If, for example, you use tar to write to the tape, then you label this tape
in Bacula, only the space not used by the tar command will be available to
be used by

Thanks for your help, your suggestions helped to get me started. I also needed
to define within the source pool that is was a read pool for the job.
Now I have two different issues, one where I can only write a small amount of
data about 2GB of data and then the tape is marked full,
Hello Daniel,
You are welcome :-).
I see you are using /dev/sgX and /dev/nstX device names for the autochanger
configuration. This is not recommended since they can be modified after
server reboots.
Please use /dev/tape/by-id values or even udev rules. Also, I noticed you
have a pool configured
Thanks for the reply Ana.
Here is most of the info you asked. I will work on running btape again but now
it is just timing out and saying that the device cannot be accessed when I try
to run the fill test.
