Hi,
Firstly, thanks for Bacula - we have been using it on various
environments for a number of years and it performs very well.
I have most recently installed it on a machine running SuSE Linux
Enterprise 10, patch-level 1. I downloaded the Bacula 2.4.3 source,
added the 2.4.3-orphaned-jobs.patch and compiled using gcc 4.1.2. We
are using the MySQL database backend (MySQL v5.0.26).
Bacula is configured to use a HP Storageworks MSL2024 tape library /
autochanger. I concluded all of the tests as described in the install
document including using btape fill and btape auto to test. All
completed without errors.
Furthermore, I've conducted some test backups of the entire system
without problems. I have encountered an error/warning while labelling
tapes. I've been labelling all 24 tapes in the changer - the error
only showed up around tape no. 8 and is as follows
*label
Automatically selected Storage: LTO-4
Enter new Volume name: weekly005
Enter slot (0 or Enter for none): 11
Defined Pools:
1: Nightly
2: Weekly
3: Archive

block.c:999 Read error on fd=5 at file:blk 0:0 on device "LTO-4"

Catalog record for Volume "weekly005", Slot 11 successfully
created.
Requesting to mount LTO-4 ...
3001 Device "LTO-4" (/dev/nst0) is mounted with Volume "weekly005"
Note the "Read error" near the bottom. The label operation seems to
complete without problems (the tapes are correctly labelled) and
subsequent backups work fine. But should I be concerned about this
message or can I safely ignore it?
Thanks,
-stephen
