Hello,
I'm running bacula 2.2.8 on an amd64 server with Solaris 10 (thank you CSW).
I can use the SCSI-attached HP Ultrium LTO2 drive with tar, mt, etc, without
any problems. Also, bacula's btape utility tests the tape successfully:
# btape -v -c ./bacula-sd.conf /dev/rmt/0bn
Tape block granularity is 1024 bytes.
btape: butil.c:285 Using device: "/dev/rmt/0bn" for writing.
btape: btape.c:372 open device "HPUltriumLTO2" (/dev/rmt/0bn): OK
*test
=== Write, rewind, and re-read test ===
I'm going to write 1000 records and an EOF
then write 1000 records and an EOF, then rewind,
and re-read the data to verify that it is correct.
This is an *essential* feature ...
btape: btape.c:831 Wrote 1000 blocks of 64412 bytes.
btape: btape.c:505 Wrote 1 EOF to "HPUltriumLTO2" (/dev/rmt/0bn)
btape: btape.c:847 Wrote 1000 blocks of 64412 bytes.
btape: btape.c:505 Wrote 1 EOF to "HPUltriumLTO2" (/dev/rmt/0bn)
btape: btape.c:856 Rewind OK.
1000 blocks re-read correctly.
Got EOF on tape.
1000 blocks re-read correctly.
=== Test Succeeded. End Write, rewind, and re-read test ===
... and so on ...
However, when bacula does a real backup, after writing the data to tape, it
seems to fail to write an EOF marker, so that tape can no longer be appended
to. Here is the output:
02-Dec 12:06 temple-dir JobId 2: Start Backup JobId 2,

02-Dec 12:18 temple-sd JobId 2: Job temple-var.2009-12-02_11.45.05 waiting.
Cannot find any appendable volumes.
I have tried using different (brand new) LTO cartridges, and I get the same
results - btape succeeds, but the actual backup fails. Any help with this
would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Brent
