You obviously had a tape that had never before been written into? At first Bacula checks that you are not trying to overwrite some existing Bacula tape, so it needs to read the beginning of the tape. But if it is really unused tape, with even no eof mark, it will result in an error. After that, as you can see, the tape was labeled correctly. IMHO, this "error" situation should be handled in a more decent way. It's not nice to print error messages that belong to systems normal, faultless operation. Only if the labeling fails, it should be reported as an error. -- TiN ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
