Re: [Bacula-users] re-initizialize old tapes

Hi Pedro,

I think there is no error, bacula is showing the volume occupied in the tape now, no the total capacity.

In my case for example :

*list volume pool=XXX
pool: XXX
+---------+------------+-----------+---------+-------------------+----------+--------------+---------+------+-----------+-----------+---------------------+
| MediaId | VolumeName | VolStatus | Enabled | VolBytes          | VolFiles | VolRetention | Recycle | Slot | InChanger | MediaType | LastWritten         |
+---------+------------+-----------+---------+-------------------+----------+--------------+---------+------+-----------+-----------+---------------------+
|      31 | M50136L5   | Full      |       1 | 1,512,679,827,456 |    1,519 |    7,776,000 |       1 |   24 |         1 | LTO-5     | 2013-01-19 04:07:19 |
|      33 | M50138L5   | Append    |       1 |   143,192,159,232 |      146 |    7,776,000 |       1 |   26 |         1 | LTO-5     | 2013-04-18 05:18:39 |
|      34 | M50139L5   | Append    |       1 |            64,512 |        0 |    7,776,000 |       1 |   27 |         1 | LTO-5     | 0000-00-00 00:00:00 |

As you see the M50139L5 is an empty tape

Dear all,
I'm trying to reinitzialize my old tapes, but I think i miss some step.

Plese, can someone point me in the right direction ?

This is what I do:

root@llo ~]# bconsole
Connecting to Director porcello.cdlan.net:9101
1000 OK: bacula-dir Version: 2.4.4 (28 December 2008)
Enter a period to cancel a command.
*purge volume=Vol15

This command is can be DANGEROUS!!!

It purges (deletes) all Files from a Job,
JobId, Client or Volume; or it purges (deletes)
all Jobs from a Client or Volume without regard
for retention periods. Normally you should use the
PRUNE command, which respects retention periods.
1 File on Volume "Vol15" purged from catalog.
There are no more Jobs associated with Volume "Vol15". Marking it purged.
*quit
[root@llo ~]#
[root@llo ~]# /usr/libexec/bacula/mtx-changer /dev/sg1 load 15 /dev/st0 0
[root@llo ~]# mt -f /dev/st0 rewind

...........
|      30 | vol15      | Append    |       1 |   64,512 |        0 |   31,536,000 |       1 |   15 |         1 | DDS-4     |                     |
...........

now, as you can see, the fourth field is the "volbytes" and it show only 64,512 bytes, but the tabe is 800 giga size.

What I do wrong ?

Please help me

BR

Pedro
