Zitat von Marco Langerwisch <[email protected]>:

We are using an Bareos 13.2.2 Installation an Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS in combination with a HP-Ultrium 3000 SAS LTO-5 Tape Drive.

We are having serious trouble with the tape-handling.

- Testing the Tape writing with btape --> all fine
- If we take a new, blank tape, label it, and bareos writes straight forward on tape --> no Problems. - If we remove the Tape from the Drive an put it back in later, bareos mounts the tape correct, but when then writing starts an the tape winds forward, bareos doesn't find the EOD.

Error: Unable to position to end of data on device "HP-Ultrium3000" (/dev/nst0): ERR=dev.c:1216 ioctl MTFSF error on "HP-Ultrium3000" (/dev/nst0). ERR=Input/output error.

- If we mount another, older tape, that worked before, bareos cannot read the VolumeLabel:

Error: dev.c:1216 ioctl MTFSF error on "HP-Ultrium3000" (/dev/nst0). ERR=Input/output error. Error: label.c:834 Expecting Volume Label, got FI=4292 Stream=ENCRYPTED-FILE len=36307

- We have loaded the scsicrypto SD-Plugins and disabled Encryption on the Drive:
 Drive Crypto Enabled = no

What can I do to solve this problems?
Anyone an idea?

Greetings,
Marco

Hello,

Have you every restored data with this tape drive?

Have you tried a cleaning tape?

What kind of SAS Controller do you use?

It looks like the tape drive have problems reading it's own tape for whatever reason. If you have a spare drive try the tape with that one. Also check the tape drive with "tapeinfo" for raising error counters.

Regards

Andreas
