In particular, look for "overrun" messages from the SCSI (or whatever)
controller.

I have a similar, but even weirder problem with one lto4 volume: It
shows up in the bacula-web interface with only 70gb of data and status
"full", but a query shows about 350G on the tape (3 jobs)!

This is bacula 5.0.2 on centos compiled from source, btw. 

All the best, Uwe

The Bacula log file is the first place to look, to see if it says why the tape
was marked as full.

Also check the system log files/console for error messages.

This is usually caused by an error. When bacula encounters a write
error it assumes the tape is full at that point.

[Bacula-users] full LTO-4 tape @ only 176 GIG

2010-05-28 Thread lweinlan

Hello, I am running backups using bacula and a LTO-4 tape library. Everything 
is running fine, but this morning, the first LTO-4 tape that I used is marked 
as volume status = "full" with only 176.24 GB ???
A LTO-4 tape has a capacity of 800 GB native, and 1.6 TB compressed .
I have absoultely no idea why this tape is already full. Could someone please 
help. What are the modifications that need to be made on the bacula-dir.conf 
file to fix this ???

Thank you
