This is incorrect behavior (i.e. you should not get the MTWEOF error). It will
*probably* work, but I wouldn't run my tape drive this way. It looks like
Bacula is not seeing the logical end of tape marker, but is writing right to
the physical end of the tape (very bad). Also, on a modern tape drive, Bacula
should be backing up and re-reading the last record written, but it looks
like you disabled that. Your tape drive modes are probably not set correctly
-- could be either or both of the Bacula Device specification or the modes
set by mt. Sorry, I cannot help any more than that.

Hello,
I'v recently purchased an auto charger.
Im using RHEL 4, and bacula 1.38.11-3 for x86_64 RPM
'till now I was using disk storage for my backups, and i would like
bacula to use it.
I ran the fill command on btape.
The fowllowing are the last lines of the execution of the command.
As you can seen, the execution end with a The last block on the tape
matches. Test succeeded..
But before that line there is an error detected The last block on the
tape matches. Test succeeded. and rigth after ioctl MTWEOF error on IBM
Ultrium 3 (/dev/nst0).
ERR=Input/output error.
Should I be worried?
Thanks in advance,
