I get this error periodically, using single drives (a VXA1 and an LTO1). Usually, it means that a tape has been changed, but not unmounted first. If I execute an unmount and a mount on the drive in question, it invariably goes away. You might try this before you go relabelling tapes. > The other problem I have is bacula dies on a regular basis (usually when > the full backups run), exactly when the first backup is scheduled to run. > > When I check the logs, I see; > > 05-Dec 22:00 ganymede-dir: Start Backup JobId 1963, > Job=Custweb2.2005-12-05_22.00.00 > > and nothing elseā¦ Does it dump core?
