Hi,

I'm using Solaris with an exabyte VXA2 library and I can't configure it
right. When the end of the tape is reached I get this error;

24-Jul 05:37 chet-sd: Home_Directories_Job_Chet.2008-07-24_00.05.00 Error:
block.c:569 Write error at 156:4762 on device "Exabyte VXA-2 Drive"
(/dev/rmt/0cbn). ERR=I/O error. 24-Jul 05:37 chet-sd:
Home_Directories_Job_Chet.2008-07-24_00.05.00 Error: Error writing final
EOF to tape. This Volume may not be readable. dev.c:1687 ioctl MTWEOF error
on "Exabyte VXA-2 Drive" (/dev/rmt/0cbn). ERR=I/O error. 24-Jul 05:37
chet-sd: End of medium on Volume "A0000003" Bytes=75,388,465,152
Blocks=1,168,595 at 24-Jul-2008 05:37.

Besides this error I expect to fit about 160GB on a tape instead of 80GB.
What is wrong in my config? Parts of bacula-sd.conf;

Autochanger {
  Name = "Exabyte VXA-2 PacketLoader 1x10"
  Device = "Exabyte VXA-2 Drive"
  Changer Device = /dev/scsi/changer/c2t0d0
  Changer Command = "/opt/bacula/etc/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
}

Device {
  Name = "Exabyte VXA-2 Drive"
  Drive Index = 0
  Media Type = "VXA-2"
  Device Type = Tape
  Archive Device = /dev/rmt/0cbn
  AutomaticMount = yes
  AlwaysOpen = yes
  RemovableMedia = yes
  RandomAccess = no
  AutoChanger = yes
  Changer Command = "/opt/bacula/etc/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
  Alert Command = "sh -c '/opt/mtx/sbin/tapeinfo -f %c |grep
TapeAlert|cat'"
  Changer Device = /dev/scsi/changer/c2t0d0
  Label Media = yes
  Offline On Unmount = no
  Hardware End of Medium = no
  BSF at EOM = yes
  Backward Space Record = no
  Fast Forward Space File = no
  Two EOF = yes
}

I can restore from backups.
