 Hello, I am running backups using bacula and a LTO-4 tape

 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 ???

 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.

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

Cheers,

 Thank you
 

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

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