If this is not a blank tape, try unmounting and remounting the Volume. You have messages. Quit The volume that was in the drive when the command was executed is a Bacula labeled volume. We're getting this error with a lot of tapes. Could this be a interoperability problem between bacula and the tape drive in question (a IBM ULT3580-TD1)? The 'btape test' tests all run fine. Other possible reasons? Bacula is running on a Red Hat Linux 7.3 with Linux kernel 2.4.18-3. [/quote] This problem, or problems like it, are very commonly caused by not having the tape drive configured right. In particular, make CERTAIN your tape drive is configured for variable block sizes. -- ========== Fight Back!
