This was the problem...
...tar, bacula and btape all don't like
/dev/sg2!
Anyway, while the Sony
TapeTool happily checks/tests and read/write tapes, using tar/bacula/bconsole
etc. still give me the error (this is via bconsole's label command):
--------
Connecting to Storage daemon
SonyAIT at localhost:9103 ...
Sending label command for Volume
"Tue-A" Slot 0 ...
block.c:782 Read error at file:blk 0:0 on device /dev/nst0. ERR=Invalid argument.
block.c:552 Write error at 0:0 on device
/dev/nst0. ERR=Invalid argument.
askdir.c:219 NULL Volume name. This
shouldn't happen!!!
3912 Failed to label Volume:
ERR=block.c:782 Read error at file:blk 0:0
on device /dev/nst0. ERR=Invalid argument.
Label command failed for Volume
Tue-A.
Do not forget to mount the
drive!!!
--------
Does this suggest a hardware fault, a linux kernal
fault (somewhere) and/or a Bacula fault? Remember I have also been using
other brand new (unopened) AIT-2 Tapes as well as the cleaning tape quite a few
times too.

That's good to know. In that

works great with all the AIT drives. I have tested it with AIT1, AIT2, and
AIT3 based changers. From:

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alan To Hi
All Just a quickie concerning my Bacula
mishaps: Is Bacula compatible with my Sony
SDX-520C AIT2 Tape Drive? I'm running Bacula 1.36 that comes
with ClarkConnect Office Edition 3.2r1, Kernal Version 2.6.9-28.ccsmp
(SMP). (Server-dir Version: 1.36.2 (28
February 2005) i686-redhat-linux-gnu redhat.) I'm relunctant to upgrade Bacula to
the latest (Beta) version, as my current version of Bacula was installed with
the ClarkConnect kernal/front-end; and I don't know how to install/upgrade
properly anyway. Many
Thanks Alan
