Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula kills tape drive and autoloader

Hi Daniel,

It would be helpful if you could send to the list the configuration you are using in Bacula for the Autochanger and the btape fill output.

Also, it would be helpful the output of the following commands:

lsscsi -g

ls -laR /dev/tape

Best regards,

Ana

Hello all

I have been working on adding a HP Overland 8 tape drive to my Bacula backup system.

I have the system recognizing the tape and autoloader.

I can run mt and mtx command. I can write to and read from the tapes. I was able to successfully run btape test and autochanger but when I ran the (fill) test the device would be removed from /dev and the test would fail. I then need to power cycle the device.

I have looked at dmesg and there is nothing reported about btape or the devices. I have rebooted the server. I have reset the device to factory default. I have also powered the device off for at least 15 minutes.

Any advice would be great.
