problem - cannot read/write on tape with Bacula
tar and cpio are working but Bacula don't want to read and write on the tape.
Due to some strange reasons the volume is not detected and cannot be mounted.
There are a lot of Input/Output Errors. Please have a look at the following
outputs. Maybe it is also a problem with the SCSI card? I mean, it has shown me
a lot of these errors ("parity error detected in Data-in phase") until I
disabled the parity check in the boot settings. I also checked already the
cable and the terminations. But I don't know what to do as I'm just a trainee
trying to get Bacula working for a company system.
I would be pleased to recieve some help
Thanks
