Hi:
I've been using bacula for almost half a year, with HP Autoloader 1/8 Utrium 3. The btape test are ok and shows no problems.
However, every time after every finished job the tape drive will give an error:
20-Mar 05:30 mdserver2-sd JobId 114: Alert: TapeAlert[25]:Undefined.
01-Sep 23:13 mdserver2-sd JobId 76: Alert: TapeAlert[25]:Undefined.
or
19-Mar 14:37 mdserver2-sd JobId 112: Alert: TapeAlert[32]:
Interface: Problem with SCSI interface between tape drive and
initiator.
22-Aug 12:22 mdserver2-sd JobId 47: Alert: TapeAlert[32]:
Interface: Problem with SCSI interface between tape drive and
initiator.
I choose to ignore the errors as i think its not a big deal as the job
is completed, however i was wrong. The tapes are not fully filled to
400Gb, instead it is Full when its much lesser than that. Sometimes
99Gb, sometimes 1Gb, it just happens randomly.
Sometimes on a bad day i will get :
