Hi,
I'm configuring a Sony TSL A300C tape changer for use with bacula on
FreeBSD, and got stuck on the tar test. It would make the backup, but is
unable to list the backup contents with tar tf.
I've managed to use the sonytape utility to test the drive, and all
tests completed successful. I also ran the btape test, without any
problems whatsoever. The autochanger test also ran successfully, not
that it matters at this stage.
In my mind this points to some flag that is not set correctly by tar, as
the other tests work.
FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p9 #0
bacula-client-2.2.5
bacula-server-2.2.5
I would really appreciate any pointers.
Regards,
Nicki
Here is the output of the tar test:
