Hello,
yesterday I was trying to restore an old file from an old backup tape that is no more in the database.
So I tried using first btape and bls to check the content.
With btape I could read the original label.
With bls I was trying to get the list of jobs numbers present in the tape (this tape should contain 5 jobs of 5 different clients on the same day).
But this is what I got from the system:
-bash-3.00# ./bls -c ../etc/bacula-sd.conf -j -v -V FRIDAY QUANTUM
bls: butil.c:258 Using device: "QUANTUM" for reading.
08-Apr 12:47 bls: Ready to read from volume "FRIDAY" on device /dev/rmt/0.

Then, to check the system, I placed other recent tapes in the LTO drive, and issued the same commands.
Always the same error....
I even tried to force a "bextract", knowning what was inside the tape, with the same errors.
So I did the same on other systems I have at customers.....always the same problem!....
I was worried.
At last, I tried restoring a file from a recent tape that is in the database, so I could use bconsole/restore
and the file was correctly restored!........but the same tape gives errors with manual commands.
This problem doesn't let me restore tapes that are no more in the database.
I did not try to run a "bscan" yet, on a separate and clean machine, but I assume it will be producing the same errors while trying to recreate the db.
Any idea about this?
Machines are Sun v20z amd64, Solaris 10, Bacula 1.36.2 compiled with gcc in 32 bit mode.
Drives are Certance Ultrium LTO2.
