Hi All

Compliments of the season and all that.

Year is off to a rocky start. :-)

Was doing a full backup, around 3.5 to 4 TB so takes a while.
PC running Director decided to lock up for some reason (possibly related to 
new CPU fan).

Now the job that WAS running (and all ones after it) are Error.

However tape director is stuck and won't let me do anything.

The tape that it wants is in the drive. It's the one it was writing to.

Device status:

Device tape is "LTO-6" (/dev/nst0) waiting for:
    Volume:      NASFull-0016
    Pool:        NASFullPool
    Media type:  LTO-6
    Device is BLOCKED waiting for media.
    Total Bytes Read=64,512 Blocks Read=1 Bytes/block=64,512
    Positioned at File=0 Block=0

Used Volume status:
Reserved volume: NASFull-0016 on tape device "LTO-6" (/dev/nst0)
    Reader=0 writers=1 reserves=0 volinuse=0

Data spooling: 1 active jobs, 4,058,134,331 bytes; 1868 total jobs, 
50,000,034,684 max bytes/job.
Attr spooling: 1 active jobs, 0 bytes; 1935 total jobs, 151,992,356 max bytes.

I've tried mounting/unmounting/resume/restart etc in loops and combinations, 
and Google is being spectacularly unhelpful, so now I need to ask the 
experts... how do I get Bacula to either resume the backup (which is 
apparently not yet possible in non-pro version) or at least stop what it's 
doing and do what I tell it to do?

Should I just restart the PC running the tape machine?

Tried rebooting this PC (Director + database + also a FD) but does not help.

Thanks, Ian
