Re: [Bacula-users] Unable to position to end of data on device

Hello,

2013/9/25 Deepak <deepak AT palincorporates DOT com>

What issue you woluld like to resolve before that?

As I have explained in first mail of this thread. I have a volume already written after some time when bacula is trying to write it again then it is giving below error.

24-Sep 12:26 backup-dir JobId 30: Start Backup JobId 30,
Job=CONFIG.2013-09-24_12.26.00_54

24-Sep 12:26 backup-dir JobId 30: Using Device "Tape-0"
24-Sep 12:27 backup-sd JobId 30: Volume "A00041L4" previously written, moving to end
of data.
24-Sep 12:46 backup-sd JobId 30: Error: Unable to position to end of data on device
"Tape-0" (/dev/lin_tape/IBMtape0): ERR=dev.c:1208 read error on "Tape-0"
(/dev/lin_tape/IBMtape0). ERR=Input/output error.

24-Sep 12:46 backup-sd JobId 30: Marking Volume "A00041L4" in Error in Catalog.

This volume is in Error state.

you was saying that it all is due to lin_tape driver.
Now, I have removed lin_tape driver and I am using st only. I scheduled a same job again. It gives me below log messages :

2013-09-25 17:37:02backup-dir JobId 55: Start Backup JobId 55, Job=CONFIGBackup.2013-09-25_17.37.00_04
2013-09-25 17:37:02backup-dir JobId 55: Using Device "Tape-0"

2013-09-25 17:37:02backup-sd JobId 55: Volume "A00041L4" previously written, moving to end of data.

Did you change an invalid volume in Error status to Append one? Why? It was in Error, incorrect state, so in my opinion all you should do is to purge a volume and start again.

[YOU CAN SEE THAT EVEN AFTER more than 1:30 hr still this job is saying moving to the end of data. post that I canceled that job manually.]

Did you tried a new/fresh/purged volume?

I have around 680 GB of data on that volume . will it take that much time to move to EOD...???

The tape is in incorrect state - it was marked as Error by Bacula. In my opinion you should purge the volume and start again.

best regards
