Hi, I'm using a Bacula setup in conjunction with a Dell PV-124T which has 16 LTO-5 tapes. The system works correctly except that the tapes become extremely quickly. There is no consistency between the amount written to each tape though it is generally in the range of 30-130gb - far less then the expected volume. I'm not getting an error messages in either dmesg or kern.log, there are no errors when swapping between tapes bacula simply gets back a -1 from the tape drive: bacula-sd End of Volume "Tape13" at 3:8729 on device "LTO5-Drive1" (/dev/nst0). Write of 1048576 bytes got -1. bacula-sd Re-read of last block succeeded. My dir: Pool { Name = LTO5 Pool Type = Backup Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes Volume Retention = 45 days # one year } Storage { Name = LTO5 Address = localhost # N.B. Use a fully qualified name here SDPort = 9103 Password = "<password>" Device = PV-124T Media Type = LTO5 Autochanger = Yes } Client { Name = bacula-fd-local Address = localhost FDPort = 9102 Catalog = MyCatalog Password = "<password>" # password for FileDaemon File Retention = 45 days # 30 days Job Retention = 6 months # six months AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired Jobs/Files } JobDefs { Name = "DefaultJob" Type = Backup Level = Incremental Client = bacula-fd-local Messages = Standard Pool = LTO5 Priority = 10 Write Bootstrap = "/var/lib/bacula/%c.bsr" } Job { Name = "HeritageJob" JobDefs = "DefaultJob" FileSet = "HeritageSet" Schedule = "WeeklyCycle2" Storage=LTO5 } My sd: Storage { # definition of myself Name = bacula-sd SDPort = 9103 # Director's port WorkingDirectory = "/var/lib/bacula" Pid Directory = "/var/run/bacula" Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20 SDAddress = 127.0.0.1 } Device { Name = LTO5-Drive1 Drive Index = 0 Media Type = LTO5 Device Type = Tape Archive Device = /dev/nst0 Changer Device = /dev/sg4 AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it AlwaysOpen = yes; RemovableMedia = yes; RandomAccess = no; AutoChanger = yes; Maximum File Size = 10G # Maximum Spool Size = 50G # Maximum Job Spool Size = 20G # will need this is there are concurrent jobs Maximum Block Size = 1024k Spool Directory = /home/bacula/tapehold Alert Command = "sh -c 'tapeinfo -f %c |grep TapeAlert|cat'" } Autochanger { Name = PV-124T Device = LTO5-Drive1 Changer Command = "/etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d" Changer Device = /dev/sg4 } If anyone could suggest any possible routes to a solution or perhaps mistakes I've made in config I would greatly appreciate it.
