Hi all, I would like to report problem with btape tests with bareos-storage-tape package in versions greater than 14.2.
My environment is CentOS 6.8 i686. I have Dell PowerVault 124T tape library attached to server for backup purpose. I installed bareos 14.2 and btape test works fine. I configured backups: tape drive and auto loader work like expected. I wanted to move to version 15.2 to test vmware plugin, uninstalled version 14.2, installed version 15.2 (via yum from bareos repository) but btape test reports errors. I tried also version 16.3, same results. When I return to version 14.2 everything works normally. I thought that problem is may be with block size but even when I set in bareos tape device definition fixed block size I can't pass btape tests with versions 15.2 and 16.3. Did anybody experience same problem. Thanks for answers and help, Boris Here are results of tests #wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/bareos.repo http://download.bareos.org/bareos/experimental/nightly/CentOS_6/bareos:master.repo #yum install bareos-storage-tape /etc/bareos/bareos-sd.d/device/FileStorage.conf Autochanger { Name = PV-124T Device = ULTRIUM-TD3 Changer Device = /dev/sg6 Changer Command = "/usr/lib/bareos/scripts/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d" } Device { Name = ULTRIUM-TD3 Media Type = LTO-3 Archive Device = /dev/nst0 Autochanger = yes AutomaticMount = yes AlwaysOpen = yes } # btape -v /dev/nst0 Tape block granularity is 1024 bytes. btape: butil.c:274-0 Using device: "/dev/nst0" for writing. btape: btape.c:482-0 open device "ULTRIUM-TD3" (/dev/nst0): OK *test === Write, rewind, and re-read test === I'm going to write 10000 records and an EOF then write 0 records and an EOF, then rewind, and re-read the data to verify that it is correct.
