Hi Andrey,


I am using bacula 7.0.5 and I have tried to emulate the damaged backup
volume but I have failed to get the Block checksum mismatch error.

Since in my case bls continues to work up until the end of the volume
it returns 0 which might be fine depending on the developer's decision
whether the operation should be considered successful or not.

Im my tests all the messages, including Error messages are sent to the
stdout instead of the stderr. Again, there might be some logic behind
it but it might be a good idea to send Error messages to the stderr.

In your case I believe that the return value should be 1 as bls
obviously encountered a fatal error and exited but since I failed to
reproduce the problem you are experiencing I cannot confirm that is has
been fixed without looking into the code.
