[Networker] Add: NetWorker media: (info) can not read record

Just forgot to say that tapes are ok, stored in a safe place (low temp,
low dust) and
that the tape was cleaned recently. So NetWorker Error Message Guide
didn't really
help...

Hi All,

When restoring some data earlier today I got the following problem:

I had to do a recover from the save sets, for that I needed 3 SDLTs.
First tape just went fine, than while reading the second tape,
NetWorker stopped the restore claiming it could read a record of a file
on the tape engaged in the SDLT (220) drive.

Here are the messages logged in /nsr/logs/messages:

Aug 31 11:33:29 bart root: [ID 702911 daemon.notice] NetWorker media:
(warning) /dev/rmt/6cbn reading: I/O error

It reminded me a similar problem I had few months ago. Same error. Same
consequences.

I checked both volumes today and it appears that both have 203 GB
written on it. Might be just a coincidence but...

Sounds to me like in both cases, NetWorker couldn't read the all tape.

Did someone already had a similar problem?


Regards,
David
