Those all look like problems with the drive and/or SCSI path.  Can you
read/write the tape properly using standard Solaris tools - dd/mt/tar
etc.?  What about the btape tests?

I have a working bacula-sd on Solaris 9, but not with Exabyte.  We are
using LTO2 and a Sun L100 and StorageTek (Sun) L700e.

thanks, Phil

Hi,

I've updated bacula to version 2.2.8 (using blastwave). Still I can't  
use the entire tape and I'm getting these errors:

In dmesg:
Aug 12 00:10:31 chet genunix: [ID 408822 kern.info] NOTICE: mpt1:

And this is the bacula error:

The job continues on the next available tape and I'm able to do a  
restore.

I cleaned the tape drive before I ran this job.

Why can't store at least 80GB on a tape, what is causing the error?
