Hi,
I've been trying to get a HP SureStore DLT-80 drive working with
Bacula on a Gentoo Linux machine.
Originally when running the btape test I was getting this error
jericho ~ # btape -c /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf /dev/nst0
Tape block granularity is 1024 bytes.
btape: butil.c:286 Using device: "/dev/nst0" for writing.
btape: btape.c:368 open device "DLT80" (/dev/nst0): OK
*test
=== Write, rewind, and re-read test ===
I'm going to write 1000 records and an EOF
then write 1000 records and an EOF, then rewind,
and re-read the data to verify that it is correct.
This is an *essential* feature ...
btape: btape.c:825 Wrote 1000 blocks of 64412 bytes.
btape: btape.c:499 Wrote 1 EOF to "DLT80" (/dev/nst0)
btape: btape.c:841 Wrote 1000 blocks of 64412 bytes.
btape: btape.c:499 Wrote 1 EOF to "DLT80" (/dev/nst0)
btape: btape.c:850 Rewind OK.

After talking with dvl on #bacula, I removed Drive Index = 0 from my
bacula-sd.conf and then started getting the following errors
jericho kfullert # btape -c /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf /dev/nst0
Tape block granularity is 1024 bytes.

I've tried 3 different tapes now that I've used in the past, as well
as running a cleaning tape through the machine, and I still get the
problem.
The drive is an external DLT connected to an Adaptec 2940U2W, and
there is a SCSI teminator installed in the back of the tape drive.
Below is my bacula-sd.conf with passwords and comments removed
Storage { # definition of myself
Name = jericho-sd
SDPort = 9103 # Director's port
WorkingDirectory = "/var/lib/bacula"
Pid Directory = "/var/run"
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20
}
Director {
Name = jericho-dir
Password = "********"
}
Director {
Name = jericho-mon
Password = "********"
Monitor = yes
}
Device {
Name = DLT80 #
Media Type = DLT-80
Archive Device = /dev/nst0
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
AutoChanger = no
# Enable the Alert command only if you have the mtx package loaded
Alert Command = "sh -c 'tapeinfo -f %c |grep TapeAlert|cat'"
}
Messages {
Name = Standard
director = jericho-dir = all
}
Can anyone suggest anything else to try, short of a new cable,
terminator and tapes?
Many thanks
Kevin Fullerton
