Re: [Bacula-users] Backup Method with Multiple Media Types - AIT2 Issue
Many Thanks Robert - I'm running tests with the Linux Sony TapeTool now.
Reading the Sony documentation, I notice that it tells me to use /dev/sg2
(after a cat /proc/scsi/scsi command). With tar, btape and bacula (including
configurations) I have been using /dev/nst0! Would that be where my problem
lies, incorrect device?

Are these new tapes? I've seen weird problems like this with bulk-erased
tapes. I fixed it by formatting them with Windows version Sony's TapeTool.
I'm not sure which variant of Unix you are using but here is a link to the
Linux one.

Subject: [Bacula-users] Backup Method with Multiple Media Types - AIT2 Issue
Hi All
Many Thanks to everybody who helped out on the multiple media types and
correctly scheduling the Full and Differential backups for me. The schedule
and media switch works now, but...
Something is wrong with my Sony AIT2 tape device (or tapes) itself - see log
below.
I've checked Google for ERR-Invalid argument, and have since used my Cleaning
Tape a number of times on the drive and also tried a few new blank tapes on the
device.
This might not be directly a Bacula issue as I am getting the same errors with
btape/test and tar commands.
Here is my tar test commands and responses:
[@ bacula]# mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind
[@ bacula]# tar cvf /dev/nst0 .
./
./mtx-changer
./grant_mysql_privileges
./grant_bacula_privileges
./bacula-sd.conf
tar: /dev/nst0: Cannot write: Invalid argument
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now [@ bacula]# mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind
[@ bacula]# tar tvf /dev/nst0
tar: /dev/nst0: Cannot read: Invalid argument
tar: At beginning of tape, quitting now
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now [@ bacula]# mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind
Here is my btape SonyAIT test results:
*test
...
08-Nov 09:21 btape: btape Error: block.c:552 Write error at 0:0 on device
/dev/nst0. ERR=Invalid argument.
08-Nov 09:21 btape: btape Error: Backspace record at EOT failed.
ERR=Input/output error
btape: btape.c:782 Error writing block to device.
*quit
Can anybody help me out on this please? Is my tape device itself faulty or not
compatable? Or are there other configurations that I need to make first?
-- Many Thanks

Hi Again All Ignore that last question; tar, bacula and btape all don't like /dev/sg2!
