Your configuration is interesting. Is this a standalone tape drive? Here is my SDLT tape drive, within a library. The items I think you might want to investigate for yourself are: TWO EOF = yes BSF at EOM = yes Fast Forward Space File = yes For myself, I think I should look into: AutomaticMount = yes; AlwaysOpen = yes; RemovableMedia = yes; RandomAccess = no; Device { Name = "DTL03" Description = "Compaq Storage Works MSL5026 - first drive" Media Type = SDLT Archive Device = /dev/nsa0 Autochanger = yes Drive Index = 0 Offline On Unmount = no Hardware End of Medium = no BSF at EOM = yes Backward Space Record = no Fast Forward Space File = yes TWO EOF = yes Spool Directory = /usr/local/bacula/spooling Maximum Spool Size = 11759496889 Maximum Job Spool Size = 11759496889 # 10GB } > > This comes as a bit of a surprise to me, since I successfully operated > an HP LTO-1 drive with the same configuration on FreeBSD successfully. > However, this was a previous version of FreeBSD and bacula. > Operating the drive with tar and mt (fsf) works just fine. > > Might this just be a regression with btape?
