Thanks for the response. This is a brand new HP tape drive. All the tapes are brand new HP LT0-5 tapes, never used before. Kern, how would I put the drive into "BSD mode"? And how could I tell if it was in that mode? I will take a look at the sg logs. myEMAILsignature Thomas Plancon CAD/IT M

Title: myEMAILsignature I would not worry too much about btape errors trying to switch volumes.  Some of the older btapes had a bug that caused such problems.  I don't believe that they are related to your problem. You can avoid those problems by running btape fill using

Yes, that is a good suggestion, that I had forgotten about.  One or two cleaning cycles should normally clear up that kind of problem. On 05.02.2018 21:01, Matt Rubright wrote: I've seen similar things happen with failing or really

I ran btape Fill and it did fill a tape with 1.5TB in about 3 hours. Btape asked for a new tape, put it in, wrote OK then asked for the first tape. I put it in but now I'm getting this error: Wrote block=2368, file,blk=62,41035 VolBytes=1,527,644,095,488 rate=133.7 MB/s 05-Feb 14:31 btape

Hi Kern, Yes, this has happened on several tapes at this point. They are all brand new HP LTO-5 tapes. No, I'm not using the Windows SD. The SD is running on the Centos 7 machine which runs the tape drive. So this AM I'm running the btape Fill routine. It it still running and it's over 130

Title: myEMAILsignature Hello, In this case, Bacula received an EOT marker, so it stopped writing.  My best guess is that the tape is defective or has a misplaced EOT marker.   Does this happen on all your tapes?  If so, then there might be something wrong with your

Hello, Unfortunately without the *complete* job output from Bacula when "Bacula called the tape full", we cannot do much for you. You should also look and see if there are any messages in the OS log at the time the tape was declared full.  If there are any please include them too. Best reg
