Hi

I hope someone can help me or point me in the right direction. I have a bran 
new Quantum Scalar i500 with 5 drives and 125 slots. When ever I try to do 
"label barcodes" it fails with timeout errors. Bacula is reading the barcodes 
from the tape drive but is not labeling it.

==============================================
This is my bacula-sd.conf:
==============================================

Autochanger {
  Name = Autochanger
  Changer Device = /dev/sg3
  Device = Ultrium-4-SCSI-1, Ultrium-4-SCSI-2, Ultrium-4-SCSI-3,

}

==============================================
and this is my bacula-dir.conf
==============================================
Storage {

  Address = rhbackup3              
  
  SDPort = 9103

When I run the btape test it works fine with no issues or errors.

=== Write, rewind, and re-read test ===

I'm going to write 10000 records and an EOF
then write 10000 records and an EOF, then rewind,
and re-read the data to verify that it is correct.

This is an *essential* feature ...

=== Append files test ===

This test is essential to Bacula.

I'm going to write one record  in file 0,
                   two 
records in file 1,
             and three records in file 2

btape: btape.c:578 Rewound "Ultrium-4-SCSI-4" (/dev/nst3)

btape: btape.c:1418 Now moving to end of medium.
btape: btape.c:629 Moved to end of medium.
We should be in file 3. I am at file 3. This is correct!

Now the important part, I am going to attempt to append to the tape.

btape: btape.c:1905 Wrote one record of 64412 bytes.
btape: btape.c:1907 Wrote block to device.
btape: btape.c:608 Wrote 1 EOF to "Ultrium-4-SCSI-4" (/dev/nst3)
btape: btape.c:578 Rewound "Ultrium-4-SCSI-4" (/dev/nst3)
Done appending, there should be no I/O errors

Doing Bacula scan of blocks:
1 block of 64448 bytes in file 1
End of File mark.
2 blocks of 64448 bytes in file 2
End of File mark.
3 blocks of 64448 bytes in file 3
End of File mark.
1 block of 64448 bytes in file 4
End of File mark.
Total files=4, blocks=7, bytes = 451,136
End scanning the tape.
We should be in file 4. I am at file 4. This is correct!

The above Bacula scan should have output identical to what follows.
Please double check it ...
=== Sample correct output ===
1 block of 64448 bytes in file 1
End of File mark.
2 blocks of 64448 bytes in file 2
End of File mark.
3 blocks of 64448 bytes in file 3
End of File mark.
1 block of 64448 bytes in file 4
End of File mark.
Total files=4, blocks=7, bytes = 451,136
=== End sample correct output ===

If the above scan output is not identical to the
sample output, you MUST correct the problem
or Bacula will not be able to write multiple Jobs to 
the tape.


=== Write, backup, and re-read test ===

I'm going to write three records and an EOF
then backup over the EOF and re-read the last record.
Bacula does this after writing the last block on the
tape to verify that the block was written correctly.

This is not an *essential* feature ...

btape: btape.c:578 Rewound "Ultrium-4-SCSI-4" (/dev/nst3)
btape: btape.c:813 Wrote first record of 64412 bytes.
btape: btape.c:824 Wrote second record of 64412 bytes.
btape: btape.c:835 Wrote third record of 64412 bytes.
btape: btape.c:608 Wrote 1 EOF to "Ultrium-4-SCSI-4" (/dev/nst3)
btape: btape.c:851 Backspaced over EOF OK.
btape: btape.c:856 Backspace record OK.
btape: btape.c:874 
Block re-read correct. Test succeeded!
=== End Write, backup, and re-read test ===



=== Forward space files test ===

This test is essential to Bacula.

I'm going to write five files then test forward spacing

btape: btape.c:578 Rewound "Ultrium-4-SCSI-4" (/dev/nst3)
btape: btape.c:1905 Wrote one record of 64412 bytes.

=== End Forward space files test ===


Ah, I see you have an autochanger configured.
To test the autochanger you must have a blank tape
 that I can write on in Slot 1.

Do you wish to continue with the Autochanger test? (y/n): yes


=== Autochanger test ===

3301 Issuing autochanger "loaded" command.
Nothing loaded in the drive. OK.
3303 Issuing autochanger "load 1 3" command.
3303 Autochanger "load 1 3" status is OK.

command.
26-Apr 11:18 btape JobId 0: 3302 Autochanger "loaded? drive 3", result 
is Slot 1.

The test autochanger worked!!

But then when I am in bconsole and try to do label barcodes I get:

I also have 20100426-15:37:17 Device /dev/nst0 - not ready, retrying... 
in the log. I am not sure what I am doing wrong here, if anyone has had this 
before...please help. Also let me know if there is any other information that 
you might need.
