Hi Carlo
Don't remember if it is necessary but I've alway assumed that btape need newly
blank media.
So I always before run, issue a mt -f /dev/nst0 weof

Hello,
I have installed bacula 2.4.3 from source.
Now I am testing the tape-unit with mt and btape.
The first time I do btape -c /usr/local/bacula/bin/bacula-sd.conf
/dev/nst0, the test runs properly.
Then I unload the tape mt -f /dev/nst0 rewoff . I reboot the server. I load
the same tape. At that moment I have the following error when I run the btape
test command:
# btape -c /usr/local/bacula/bin/bacula-sd.conf /dev/nst0
Tape block granularity is 1024 bytes.
btape: butil.c:285 Using device: /dev/nst0 for writing.
btape: btape.c:372 open device lto4drive (/dev/nst0): OK
*test
=== Write, rewind, and re-read test ===
I'm going to write 1000 records and an EOF
then write 1000 records and an EOF, then rewind,
and re-read the data to verify that it is correct.
This is an *essential* feature ...
btape: btape.c:831 Wrote 1000 blocks of 64412 bytes.
btape: btape.c:505 Wrote 1 EOF to lto4drive (/dev/nst0)
btape: btape.c:847 Wrote 1000 blocks of 64412 bytes.
btape: btape.c:505 Wrote 1 EOF to lto4drive (/dev/nst0)
btape: btape.c:856 Rewind OK.
1000 blocks re-read correctly.
Got EOF on tape.

Got EOF on tape.
Got EOF on tape.
When I load a new tape, the test runs properly, until I reboot the server.
Ik tried the following without success:
mt -f /dev/nst0 defblksize 0
I am running Bacula 2.4.3 on CentOS 5.2.
Harware Server: SunFire X2100
TapeUnit: HP StorageWorks 1760.
This is my bacula-sd.conf:
