Well that's what I get for reading the documentation. All the pointers about Offline on Unmount led me down the wrong path. Setting 'offline = 1" and "offline_sleep=10" seems to have fixed it. nomad ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

Re: [Bacula-users] LTO8 tape jukebox fails where LTO5 worked fine
Ana, Gary, The devices were not properly owned. Changing them did not correct the problem, sadly. (Given the previous hardware was working with the incorrect ownerships this isn't really surprising to me, though I would have loved the quick fix had it held.) The ownership is now bacula:bacula. As you suggest, I'll discard the offline unmount directive entirely (it's been commented out for all of today's tests). The reason I was trying it is, in order to unload the tape after any test I have to rewoffl it first.

Re: [Bacula-users] LTO8 tape jukebox fails where LTO5 worked fine
Hello, Sorry, I sent an incomplete email earlier :-) It seems that all btape tests, except for the autochanger test, have passed without using "Offline On Unmount = yes". So I would keep the default value and not change it. It would be nice to see the kernel logs when the autochanger test fails: === Autochanger test === 3301 Issuing autochanger "loaded" command. Slot 1 loaded. I am going to unload it. 3302 Issuing autochanger "unload 1 0" command. unload status=Bad 268435457 3992 Bad autochanger command: /usr/libexec/bacula/mtx-changer /dev/changer/0 unload 1 /dev/tape/0 0 3992 result="Unloading drive 0 into Storage Element 1...Unloading drive 0 into Storage Element 1...Unloading drive 0 into Storage Element 1...Unloading drive 0 into Storage Element 1...Unloading drive 0 into Storage Element 1...mtx: Request Sense: Long Report=yes ": ERR=Child exited with code 1 3303 Issuing autochanger "load 1 0" command. 3993 Bad autochanger command: /usr/libexec/bacula/mtx-changer /dev/changer/0 load 1 /dev/tape/0 0 3993 result="Drive 0 Full (Storage Element 1 loaded) ": ERR=Child exited with code 1 You must correct this error or the Autochanger will not work.

I am suspecting a configuration problem and would greatly appreciate guidance. When I tried to label the new tapes it loaded the first one fine, labled it fine, then failed miserably to unload it. I tried adding the "Offline On Unmount" command to the config (see below) but that didn't help. I then tried running /usr/bin/sudo /sbin/btape -c /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf /dev/tape/0 which worked fine until it got to the 'test the autochanger' part of the test, then failed just as miserably. The results are different (I/O errors) if the unmount setting is there, but it fails either way. I'll attach two script files that show various btape runs. Note that between the tests I did the following reset: sudo mt -f /dev/tape/0 rewoffl sudo mtx -f /dev/changer/0 unload 1 sudo mtx -f /dev/changer/0 load 1 Nothing interesting shows up in the system logs. I would turn on debug in mtx-changer.conf - set debug_level=100 - and see what comes out.
