Thank you, Martin!
Your suggestion to add the debug level revealed the problem!
btape: block_util.c:316-0 === adata=0 binbuf=524200
btape: block_util.c:577-0 Zero end blk: adata=0 cleared=64 buf_len=524288
wlen=524288 binbuf=524224
btape: block_util.c:361-0 block_header: block_len=524224
btape: block_util.c:377-0 ser_block_header: adata=0 checksum=543943d7
btape: block_util.c:598-0 Enter: bool is_user_volume_size_reached(DCR*,
bool)
btape: block_util.c:625-0 *Maximum volume size 2,000,000,000 *exceeded Vol=
device="IBMLTO8" (/dev/tape/by-id/scsi-35000e111cc2d8001-nst).
Marking Volume "" as Full.
btape: block_util.c:631-0 Return from is_user_volume_size_reached=1
btape: block_util.c:632-0 Leave: bool is_user_volume_size_reached(DCR*,
bool)
For some reason, I had this directive in my bacula-sd.conf file:
*MaximumVolumeSize = 2000000000*
Which is only mostly used for disk-based backups, not for tapes!
Thanks again Martin.
Problem solved.
Cheers!
Hector Barrera.
