[Bacula-users] Hardware or bacula-problem?

[Stephan H. <sh...@gm...>]

Dear List,

I have labeled a fresh tape which runs fine for now. But after a while
it stops working with the error quoted below:

<error>

THis is a DDS3-tape with hardware-compression turned on, so 7 GB of
data should not be the end of the tape. Is this behavouir hardware or
software related?

Currently I have no physical access to the drive to see if the cleaning
tape should be used, indicated by a red light.

Any ideas are helpful.

Best
	Stephan
