Re: [Bacula-users] getting my tape drive online

My drive appears to be working correctly, and the devices I poll here 
correspond to configurations I use in my config file.  Tests all seem fine (to 
my layman's observation), but in practice actual commands are failing.

Sorry that I'm so late to the thread.  I suggest reading what I documented here:

http://www.freebsddiary.org/tape-library.php
http://www.freebsddiary.org/tape-library-integration.php

There are many things that can go wrong.  And I think I met all of them.
