James,
Interesting. I have been experiencing exactly the same problem the last two
nights. However, my bacula-sd and -dir are running on a x64 CentOS 5.2 box. The
bacula-fd involved in the error runs on x64 Windows 2k8. I also run bacula-fds
on other Linux and FreeBSD hosts, which don't show the same issues. However,
the size of the Windows fileset is the largest with approx. 110 GB.
I am using Bacula 3.0.1 together with an HP LTO3 drive.
Thanks
Matthias

Subject: [Bacula-users] premature EOT under Windows
I've been using bacula-sd and bacula-dir under windows for a bit and so far
it's worked well except for two occasions. Just now, and maybe a week ago,
bacula decided that it had reached the end of tape (I think there was an error
there). This happened again shortly after, but the problem appeared to go away
after restarting bacula-sd. When it happened a week ago, I put it down to a
problem with Windows updates which were installing or had just finished
installing when the backup job was running.
So to restate what I just said:
. backup-sd says end of tape due to write error (about 83G into the job) . I
cancel the job, purge the volume, and restart using the same volume . bacula-sd
does the same again, but not at the same point
. I cancel the job, purge the volume, restart bacula-sd, and restart the job
using the same volume again
. the backup works fine, and subsequent backups worked fine for a week or so.
I'm using bacula 3.0.1 (x64 version of bacula-fd, i386 version of everything
else). The drive is a HP LTO3 drive (400/800G capacity). The normal job size is
about 220G.
Windows reports no errors in the logs (eg no scsi errors). I have run HP L&TT
tools and it declares that everything is fine, although I haven't run it since
the most recent failure.
Is anyone else using bacula-sd under windows and can tell me what their
experience is? Given the "unsupported" disclaimer for -sd and -dir under
windows, I'm not ruling out a bug in -sd...
Thanks
James
