Self update on problem #1 - possible solution
I found that the permissions on the /devices/.../[EMAIL PROTECTED],0:changer
was rw
for root:sys only. Adding the bacula user to sys and chmod'ing the
device to 660 helped - bacula-sd can now count the number of slots via
mtx-changer.
I found that mtx-changer is not Solaris friendly and has issues with
both the wait_for_drive function
# modified for Solaris' mt
if mt -f $1 status | grep 'No Additional Sense' >/dev/null 2>&1;
then
# if mt -f $1 status | grep ONLINE >/dev/null 2>&1; then
and the "list" command
#cat ${TMPFILE} | grep " *Storage Element [0-9]*:.*Full" | awk "{print
\$3 #\$4}" | sed "s/Full *\(:VolumeTag=\)*//"
cat ${TMPFILE} | grep ' *Storage Element [0-9]*:.*Full' | awk '{print $3
$4}' | sed 's/Full *:VolumeTag=*//' | sed 's/^\([0-9]*:\)Full/\1/'

Self update on problem # 2 - it just took an incredibly long time to
reposition to the last block of the first tape again.
I still have the first problem - and reading the responses to similar
questions on the archive didn't help. Here's the clearest response,
could someone clarify?
"Use the Autochanger-Directive in the SD configuration. Use that device
with btape and (usually) in the DIR config."

Subject: btape won't autoload for TL892 on Solaris 10?
I'm configuring bacula 1.39.22 on Solaris 10 x86 on an IBM e345 with a
Compaq TL892 library, 2 TZ89 DLT drives w/ 1 TL800 robot. I've been
using a combination of the Bacula manual and Dan Langille's articles to
work out the nuances of the Storage clause for the bacula-sd.conf file.
I'm getting 2 unexpected results from btape fill. It doesn't autoload
the next tape and it hangs after reading the first 10000 records from
the first tape.
Where can I start looking to resolve the problems? Is the no autoload a
problem because I don't have a storage pool defined with appendable
volumes or is it a device configuration problem?
The btape test command says that my settings are ok, and the autochanger
section of btape also works as expected.
The btape fill command takes about 2 hours to fill the DLTIV tape using
the /dev/rmt/0cbn device. When it reaches the end of the first tape I
get this (debug is set to 99):

Mount blank Volume on device "Drive-1" (/dev/rmt/0cbn) and press return

btape: dev.c:328 open dev: device is tape
03-Oct 01:28 btape: 3301 Issuing autochanger "loaded? drive 0" command.
I used mtx in another session to unload the first tape and load the
second. The test continued normally, successfully loading, labeling and
writing to the second tape and then a similar message and the prompt to
reload the first tape.
The process then seems to hang after reading the first 10000 records :
Volume Label:

Rewinding.

Reposition from 1:5084 to 51:485
