[Bacula-users] Retension (forward to end of tape, then rewind)

Hi,

I have been searching for this for a while, but all I could find relates 
to "retention", as in, the period of time to keep records of 
files/volumes/medias in a system.

What I'm trying to achieve it retension, or the act of seeking a tape to 
the end, then rewinding it.

My question is two-fold:
a) I want to do a retension of all my tapes. "mt -f /dev/st0 retension" 
produces no output and immediately quits. It appears to do nothing.

b) I would like to have my Bacula system automatically start a job by 
first retensioning the tape, and then doing the backup. Or it could be 
at the end. Or I can schedule a monthly retension job, whatever. I just 
want to have some way of automating the process of retensioning my tapes.

My drive is a Seagate DAT72 internal, SCSI. I believe these are the same 
as DDS5 cartridges?

The host is Linux Debian Etch, on which runs both the director and the 
storage daemon.

Thanks


Laurent
