My DLT tape drive has been going along nicely for almost a year. Tonight, the day before I head away for a trip, it starts giving errors.
Last night I did some restores, and left the tape in the drive. Overnight, the regular jobs started and asked for the other tape. Here is what happened: 10-Jan 15:57 polo-sd: Please mount Volume "DLT7000-JYN228" on Storage Device "DLT" for Job undef.2006-01-10_00.55.00 *mount storage=DLT Using default Catalog name=MyCatalog DB=bacula 3001 OK mount. Device=/dev/nsa0 *mes 10-Jan 17:10 polo-sd: Volume "DLT7000-JYN228" previously written, moving to end of data. *mes You have no messages. *mes 10-Jan 17:24 polo-sd: undef.2006-01-10_00.55.00 Error: Unable to position to end of data on device "/dev/nsa0".

The drive base was not warm to the noise. I don't think overheating was an issue. Any ideas? In the meantime, I'll creating a few FILE volumes. -- Dan Langille : http://www.langille.org/ BSDCan - The Technical BSD Conference - http://www.bsdcan.org/ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
