Ken, I wonder if this could be a hardware issue with the drive. I'm guessing this drive has been in production with bacula for some time. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
How frequently has this issue occurred? I am curious what the btape tests at the link below show. Please be advised that these tests are data destructive, so perform them with a scratch tape, preferably one not labeled by bacula (the existing label will be wiped by the test). https://www.bacula.org/15.0.x-manuals/en/problems/Testing_Your_Tape_Drive_Wit.html#SECTION003200000000000000000 Robert Gerber 402-237-8692 r...@craeon.net On Thu, Oct 2, 2025, 5:52 PM <kjohn...@eclypse.org> wrote: > Configuration: > > > > Debian 12.11 > > mpt2sas reports LSISAS2008 HBA > > HP StoreEver LTO – 7 internal tape drive > > Bacula 9.6.7-7 (from Debian pkg) > > > > The observed symptom is that reads work as expected, but writes appear to > stall indefinitely.
