[Bacula-users] Recommended version
I have Bacula 1.38.2 throughout and need to backup and restore linux and Win32 machines. Is this version stable and able to restore to win32 and linux without issue? If not, what version should I move to for stability and safe operation? Regards David Raine ps.

[Bacula-users] Device BLOCKED changing tapes
I know this has been mentioned in the past, but I can't find anything other than Kern indicating that one should run through the tutorial (which I've done). Bacula 1.38.2 on debian sarge, LTO-1 tape drive When tape tape-0002 fills, I get a request to mount the next available volume (tape-0003, it is pre-labelled), I put tape-0003 in, wait a while then mount it. The mount succeeds but the backup does not continue. status stor gives this message: Device status: Device LTO-A (/dev/st0) open but no Bacula volume is mounted. Device is BLOCKED waiting for media. Total Bytes Read=0 Blocks Read=0 Bytes/block=0 Positioned at File=0 Block=0 In Use Volume status: tape-0003 on device LTO-A (/dev/st0) Data spooling: 1 active jobs, 10,737,373,907 bytes; 27 total jobs, 10,737,438,491 max bytes/job. Attr spooling: 1 active jobs, 0 bytes; 27 total jobs, 41,456,838 max bytes. What am I missing? I've tried re-mounting the tape a number of times, unmounting and then remounting does the same... Baffled, worked thru tutorial and still baffled. Rgds David --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems? Stop!

Re: [Bacula-users] LTO drive - End Of Volume error
Thanks and apologies. I have now also joined the devel list.
Have also just completed my first full backup with bacula. Excellent - just
what
is needed. Many thanks to all those involved with this top-class solution.

Hello,

Removing the following lines from line 497 of block.c, in
write_block_to_dev() fixed the problem:
if (!do_dvd_size_checks(dcr)) {
/* Error message already sent */
return false;
}
Should this be prefixed with a check that a DVD is in use?
It looks like it should.
I forwarded your two messages to Nicolas Boichat, who should know more.
if you encounter more problems like these, or have more details to report,
please send them to the bacula-devel list, too - after all, 1.37 is the
development version, and such things are better discussed there.
Thanks for your report and analysis,
Arno

David

I followed those steps but found no difference. Running btape with -d 999
shows this curious message:
btape: dev.c:655 rewind_dev fd=3 LTO-A (/dev/st0)
btape: record.c:213 write_record_to_block() FI=0 SessId=0 Strm=0

rem=64488 remainder=0
btape: block.c:430 binbuf=64448 buf_len=64512
btape: block.c:816 Cannot get free space on the device ERR=.
btape: message.c:993 Enter Jmsg type=3
btape: message.c:565 Enter dispatch_msg type=3 msg=btape: btape Fatal
error: End of Volume at 0:0 on device LTO-A (/dev/st0)
(part_size=0, free_space=0, free_space_errno=0, errmsg=).
I note that line 816 in block.c is within the function
do_dvd_size_checks()... Does it think this tape is a DVD?

David

There is a tape testing chapter in the manual (use the development
manual),
which gives if I remember right 9 steps for diagnosing tape problems ...

Is it consistent across multiple tapes?

[Bacula-users] LTO drive - End Of Volume error
Hi list,
Am totally new to bacula and have installed v1.37.41 from CVS. When I use
the btape command and try to run test I get this message immediately and
no other tests are performed. :
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 ...
18-Oct 14:58 btape: btape Fatal error: End of Volume at 0:0 on device
LTO-A (/dev/st0)
(part_size=0,free_space=0, free_space_errno=0, errmsg=).
btape: btape.c:791 Error writing block to device.
The bacula-sd.conf device entry is shown below:
Device {
Name = LTO-A
Media Type = LTO
Archive Device = /dev/st0
LabelMedia = yes;
Random Access = no;
AutomaticMount = yes;
RemovableMedia=yes;
AlwaysOpen = no;
}
The device is a Seagate LTO-1 drive. /proc/scsi/scsi lists it as:
Host: scsi6 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 01
Vendor: SEAGATE Model: ULTRIUM06242-XXX Rev: 1536
Type: Sequential-AccessANSI SCSI revision: 03
I have also tried various recommendations from the manual, such as setting
blksize to 0. There is a tape in the drive and I can write to it using tar.
mt, etc. I have also tried the Hardware end of file option in the device
entry with no change.
btape cap output is:
Configured device capabilities:
!EOF BSR BSF FSR FSF FASTFSF !BSFATEOM EOM REM !RACCESS AUTOMOUNT LABEL
!ANONVOLS !ALWAYSOPEN MTIOCGET
Device status:
OPENED TAPE !LABEL MALLOC APPEND !READ !EOT !WEOT !EOF !NEXTVOL !SHORT
Device parameters:
Device name: /dev/st0
File=0 block=0
Min block=0 Max block=0
Status:
Bacula status: file=0 block=0
Device status: BOT ONLINE IM_REP_EN file=0 block=0
btape: btape.c:1759 Device status: 645. ERR=
Can anyone advise if there is something else I should be doing or anything
else I can try?
Regards
David Raine
