Hi folks,
Setting up Bacula 7.0.5 on Centos 7, backing up to a HPE LTO-5 Ultrium
3000 external SAS drive. Everything going fairly smoothly; bacula-sd
finds the drive and btape-test reports full success. However, tried
doing a test backup from a Win client using a directory of 134Gb. Backup
started and appeared to run normally, then after about 21Gb written to
tape, Bacula called tape full and requested a new tape be mounted!
I've seen discussions re: block sizes on LTO-5 devices, but much of it a
bit over my head. This is the first LT0-5 device I've used although had
great success with LT0-4 devices. Here it the output of Tapeinfo:
Product Type: Tape Drive
Vendor ID: 'HP '
Product ID: 'Ultrium 5-SCSI '

Ready: yes
BufferedMode: yes
Medium Type: Not Loaded -------?!?!?
Density Code: 0x58
BlockSize: 0
DataCompEnabled: yes
DataCompCapable: yes
DataDeCompEnabled: yes
CompType: 0x1
DeCompType: 0x1
BOP: yes
Block Position: 0
Partition 0 Remaining Kbytes: 1470031
Partition 0 Size in Kbytes: 1470031
ActivePartition: 0
EarlyWarningSize: 0

MaxPartitions: 1
"Medium type - not loaded", there was a tape in the drive, so not sure
what that means.
And the resource definitions from the conf files:
------------resource def. from
bacula-dir-------------------------------------------------
# Definition of LTO-5 tape device
Storage {
Name = LTO-5
##Do not use "localhost" here
Address = godwit.domus-bka.local # N.B. Use a fully
qualified name here
SDPort = 9103
Password = "godwitBackup" # password for Storage daemon
Device = LTO-5 # must be same as Device in Storage
daemon
Media Type = LTO-5 # must be same as MediaType in
Storage daemon
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 10
}
------------resource def. from
bacula-sd-------------------------------------------------
# A Linux or Solaris LTO-5 tape drive
Device {
Name = LTO-5
Media Type = LTO-5
Archive Device = /dev/st0
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
AutoChanger = no
Maximum File Size = 25GB
## Changer Command = "/usr/libexec/bacula/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
## Changer Device = /dev/sg0
## AutoChanger = yes
# # Enable the Alert command only if you have the mtx package loaded
Alert Command = "sh -c 'tapeinfo -f %c |grep TapeAlert|cat'"
## If you have smartctl, enable this, it has more info than tapeinfo
## Alert Command = "sh -c 'smartctl -H -l error %c'"
}
------------end-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Any insight as to what may be happening here, or config items I've left
out would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks much!
