Hi Doug. Hmm, have you tried with another tape? Also, double check
that the tape doesn't have the write protect tab engaged.

The only other thing I can think of is that the tape drive

This is getting weirder. The mt eof, rewind and status commands work. The tar

Hmm, that's odd that the mt commands work but the btape doesn't... I'm
wondering if the mt commands just aren't reporting an error. Try
writing a small volume with tar:
tar zcf /dev/nst0 /etc/skel ; echo "Error code: $?"

Thanks for catching that, I added the drive index but it's still giving me the
same error.

The mt commands run fine. The btape command gives a similar error.

Hello Doug,
It seems that the tape device configuration is missing the "DriveIndex"
value:
Device {
Name = "LTO-7"
Description = "LTO-7"
MediaType = "LTO-7"
DeviceType = "Tape"
DriveIndex = 0 < if this is the only drive in the tape library,
this value should be 0

Hi Doug,
Hmm, that looks fine. Try the following:
mt -f /dev/nst0 status
mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind
mt -f /dev/st0 eof
mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind
btape -c /opt/bacula/etc/bacula-sd.conf /dev/nst0

Hi Doug,
Try running the following and posting the output:
su -s /bin/bash bacula
ls -dl /dev/nst* /dev/sg*
groups
mtx -f /dev/sg3 status
exit
That will switch you to the bacula user, check the permissions of the
various devices, and attempt to run the mtx command as the bacula user.

Good morning, thank you for your reply.
The bacula user is definitely in the tape group.

Hi Doug,
Is bacula running as root? On most setups it runs as the bacula
user, so you would need to make sure that that user is in the "tape"
group and has rw access to /dev/nst0.
