I'm using the following /dev/nsa0 as the nonrewinding tape device under FreeBSD 5.3 and when backing up using Flexbackup 1.2.1 as follows:
flexbackup -set all -type pax -noerase I am prompted to insert tape after each set (6 sets altogether) although I reply 'y' and stick to the same tape. Typing 'flexbackup -toc' produces a listing showing six sets in the expected format. When I tested flexbackup using the following: flexbackup -set home -type pax -norewind -noerase ; \ flexbackup -set boot -type pax -norewind -noerase ; \ flexbackup -set etc -type pax -norewind -noerase ; \ flexbackup -set var -type pax -norewind -noerase ; \ flexbackup -set usr -type pax -norewind -noerase ; \ flexbackup -set os -type pax -noerase I am not prompted to insert tapes. However, I am getting six separate email with a log attached to each. The device is defined as $device='/dev/nsa0' in /etc/flexbackup.conf. Changing $erase_tape_set_level_zero = 'true' to 'false' makes no difference. I had Debian 3.0r1 on this machine in a previous life (using '/dev/nst0' as the tape device) and when using flexbackup, did not receive such messages. The Flexbackup documentation says for FreeBSD users to use /dev/nsa0 as the nonrewinding device.
