Hello everybody, I am totally new to backups, backup hardware and bacula in special, but I am not a newbie with computers in general.
Following the tutorial <http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Volume_Utility_Tools.html#btape> the program btape hangs on the following error: "btape: btape.c:2576 is an illegal command" Unexperienced as I am at this I don't have the slightest clue where I should start tackling this problem. Here's what I have: CentOS (2.6.9-42.0.3.ELsmp) bacula-mysql-1.38.11-3 Sony SDX-400C tape drive The details are: scsi1 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 6.2.36 <Adaptec 2940 Ultra SCSI adapter> aic7880: Ultra Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 16/253 SCBs (scsi1:A:8): 40.000MB/s transfers (20.000MHz, offset 8, 16bit) Vendor: SONY Model: SDX-400C Rev: 0702 Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 st: Version 20040403, fixed bufsize 32768, s/g segs 256 Attached scsi tape st0 at scsi1, channel 0, id 8, lun 0 st0: try direct i/o: yes (alignment 512 B), max page reachable by HBA 1048575 # rpm -qi bacula-mysql-1.38.11-3 Name : bacula-mysql Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 1.38.11 Vendor: The Bacula Team Release : 3 Build Date: Fri 07 Jul 2006 09:34:44 AM CEST Install Date: Thu 03 Aug 2006 06:23:06 PM CEST Build Host: buildcentos4.schwarz.local Group : System Environment/Daemons Source RPM: bacula-1.38.11-3.src.rpm Size : 15432861 License: GPL v2 Signature : DSA/SHA1, Thu 13 Jul 2006 11:33:23 PM CEST, Key ID 9e98bf3210a792ad Packager : D.

I have run "mt -f /dev/nst0 defblksize 0" and from reading the documentation I am irritated as I would expect "st0: Block limits" above to be "0" instead of the "2" in the log. Wild speculation leads me to believe I am stuck with "Incorrect Number of Blocks or Positioning Errors during btape Testing" <http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Testing_Your_Tape_Drive.html#SECTION000383400000000000000>, but that is really wild speculation. Can anyone shed some light on my problem so I can understand and fix it? Thanks, Patrick Koetter ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
