Last week I wrote about my intention for an autochanger test - after 
going to the Bacula 9.0.x. versions recently.

[Bacula-users] Fwd: Kern left Puerto Rico

[kern]

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone.


Hello,

As you surely know, I have long planned a vacation to Puerto Rico.  I 
turns out I arrived one day after hurricane Irma (9 Seot).  Life was 
difficult -- no electricity for a few days, but livable, but I never 
counted on a second hurricane named Maria, which arrived one day before 
I was due to leave (21 Sept). So my flight was cancelled and had the 
full experience of a category 4 hurricane.  Very interesting and 
exciting, but lots of problems for Puerto Rico -- no electricity (still 
only about 5% have electricity), no traffic signals, no running water, 
4-10 hours waiting to get gas, 3 hour wait to get food, which was 
rationed, ...

When Maria arrived, my departure was changed to 25 Sept, but due to the 
extensive infrastructure damage it was pushed out to 2 October.  I was 
lucky enough to be able to experience this terrible event and to leave 
on 2 October.  I am fine and feeling lucky to be able to leave ...

Though I am still recuperating from the heat and mosquitoes, part of me 
regrets leaving Puerto Rico, where the people are really handling major 
problems by being kind and helping each other. Compared to previous 
hurricanes such as Katrina, the death toll has be very modest.  I 
attribute this to early warnings to the population, shelters, and the 
fact that a large fraction of PR houses are made of concrete rather than 
wood as in other areas. The low death rate has lead certain US public 
officials to conclude that Maria did not inflict much damage -- wrong.  
Maria was disastrous to Puerto Rico and to its economy.  If they are 
able to reboot the economy Puerto Rico will come out of this problem, 
but getting started is hard when there is no electricity, food, and 
fuel.  People cannot get to work so even 10 days after the hurricane a 
huge number of businesses were closed.

In a certain sense, I leaped from the frying pan into the fire, because 
the second half on my vacation is in Barcelona, where there is a rather 
major Catalan independence movement that is currently playing out.

I hope to be back at home (in Switzerland) Tuesday 10 October.

Best regards,

Kern

Thanks Phil,

I found two files in two different jobs that both span the same two
LTO-6 cassettes.

The two restore jobs for a single file each did require two cassettes
and did work without any error message.

A compare with md5sum found the restored files are o.k.


Interesting in several ways.  How did you run a two-tape restore without
the restore timing out at tape change?


Just took a look into the logfiles of the restore test with our LTO6 HP
1/8 G2 autochanger - the point of the cassette change:


04-Okt 09:22 lx-vihost-1-sd JobId 2917: End of Volume "FR0401L6" at addr=0:0 on device 
"tape1" (/dev/nst0).
04-Okt 09:22 lx-vihost-1-sd JobId 2917: 3307 Issuing autochanger "unload Volume 
FR0401L6, Slot 5, Drive 0" command.
04-Okt 09:23 lx-vihost-1-sd JobId 2917: 3304 Issuing autochanger "load Volume 
FR0402L6, Slot 6, Drive 0" command.
04-Okt 09:24 lx-vihost-1-sd JobId 2917: 3305 Autochanger "load Volume FR0402L6, Slot 
6, Drive 0", status is OK.
04-Okt 09:24 lx-vihost-1-sd JobId 2917: Ready to read from volume "FR0402L6" on Tape 
device "tape1" (/dev/nst0).
04-Okt 09:24 lx-vihost-1-sd JobId 2917: Forward spacing Volume "FR0402L6" to 
addr=0:1
