This could be a problem with tapes, but the error message "Device or resource busy" not a normal error message for tape error. It looks more like some sort of driver problem (OS/Kernel driver, tape drive firmware, SCSI controller, or Bacula). -- Best regards, Kern ("> /\ V_V _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
