I also have have learned I have to stop bacula (likely the bacula-sd
daemon) to use either 'mt -t /dev/st0 COMMAND' or 'btape ... ' for
testing. It appears that bacula has the device in use because I defined
it already in the bacula-sd.conf file.
Just FYI: unmount does what you want, and this is documented (at least)
in the description for the console command - release.
Not actually funny, and something that should be changed. I'll see if I
can come up with some suggestions, but not immediately...
It is likely documented some
where but I didn't see it near the "Testing your Tape Drive with Bacula"
section. It took me a little while to realize that. :) That seems to
take care of the resource busy error for me. However, as Maria notes, it
likely doesn't help the rest...
Hmm. Now I wonder - you are using bextract while you've got the daemons
running? Wouldn't it be easier to just recreate the catalog and use
bacula itself?

You've probably already tried this, but I have had a problem
occasionally before of getting the device busy error when trying to
use mt-st, and just stopping the bacula daemons has gotten rid of it.
Worth a shot, anyhow, if you haven't tried already. Doesn't answer
the rest of your question, though.

I'm still stuck on this. Any attempts to eject the tape with 'mt'
or 'camcontrol' result in 'device busy' errors. Thus I assume that
bextract has a hold of the device and won't let the tape eject. Is
there some config or command line option that I need to add so
bextract will eject the tape at the end of each volume?
I'd really appreciate any thoughts, suggestions, or RTFM pointers as
I lost a couple drives and just want to put all the data stored on
these tapes back on my system. Unfortunately the catalog was lost
as well.
Unfortunately, I don't remember any information usefule for you, and
I never tried bextract like that...
Now, I assume you're in sort of an emergency. You could try the
development version - there were some changes in drive locking and
release, and hopefully they also affect bextract. Or you use your
drive's "emergency eject" feature if it has one - the drives I know
do this after holding the eject button a long time.
An easier solution might be to bextract from the volumes one at a
time, ignore the problems at tape traversal, hope everything works,
and then restore the jobs crossing tape boundaries again.
Or you set up a "full" bacula install first and bscan all the tapes
into the catalog - that might take longer, though.

I'm running FreeBSD 5.4 and using bextract 1.36.3 to restore
multiple tape volumes to a drive I lost. It's giving me the
following message:

Mount Volume "TAPE-0004" on device /dev/nsa0 and press return when
ready:
OK, I understand it wants me to mount the next volume. However I
can not get the drive to eject the tape. It's an HP DLT-30 drive.
I press the eject button on the drive but get no response. Any
attempts to use the 'mt' program from FreeBSD result in a "device
busy" error. What should I try next?
Here's the relevant part of my storage daemon conf file:
---BEGIN---
Device {
Name = "HP DLT 30"
Media Type = DLT
Archive Device = /dev/nsa0
LabelMedia = yes; # lets Bacula label unlabeled
media
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
# From the port info:
# Due to lack of some features in the FreeBSD tape driver
# implementation you MUST add some OS dependent options to
# the bacula-sd.conf file:
Hardware End of Medium = no;
Backward Space Record = no;
Backward Space File = no;
# With 2 filemart at EOT (see man mt):
Fast Forward Space File = no;
BSF at EOM = yes;
TWO EOF = yes;
}
---END---
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Drew
