Hi,
For the last few weeks now, I've been unable to mount any of my LTO-5
drive. I always get the following error
*stored/block.cc:1004 Read error on fd=6 at file:blk 0:0 on device
"TapeDrive0" (/dev/nst0). ERR=Input/output error.*
At first, I suspected the drive was at fault. However, xTalk did not detect
any problem with the drive itself.
*Test Summary Drive Detection Test -------- : Passed SCSI
Interconnect Test ------ : Passed Tape Load Test -------------- :
Passed Quick Write/Read Test ------- : Passed Small Buffer
Wr/Rd Test ----- : Passed System Level Test ----------- : Passed
Time Test ------------------- : Passed Multi-Pattern Test
---------- : Passed LTO Error Rate Test -------- : PassedNo Problem
DetectedThe tests did not detect any problems.*
The test suite seems quite complete, including a read of 50Gb of data and a
validation read.
I also tried with a different LTO5 drive, but got the same result.
I formatted one my tape and re-labeled it. I was able to mount that tape
perfectly and complete some backups on it with no problems. However, all my
old backups on tapes remain inaccessible. Right now, it looks like I will
eventually have to reformat and relabel all my tapes to use them with
Bareos. I have over 50 tapes with 2 years of backups.
This problem started around the time I updated to Bareos 23, although I
can't confirm that this is the problem. I am also unable to test
downgrading to Bareos 22 as I can't find any package for that.
My drive is a a Quantum Ultrium 5 SAS (internal) and I use a mix of
Fujifilm and Quantum LTO 5 tapes.
Director: 23.0.4~pre61.010c81fdc (03 July 2024) Debian GNU/Linux 11
(bullseye)
Storage (tape): 23.0.4~pre74.8cb0a0c26 (10 July 2024) Debian GNU/Linux 11
(bullseye)
Any suggestions to what I should tried to debug this problem? I would
rather not loose 2 years of backups if I can.
Thanks,
