Brian, Are you also seeing this on Windows? If so it is quite possible that I have a bug in the Windows emulation of the UNIX tape IOCTLs. I've ordered an Ultrium 232 drive to do further testing on both Windows and Linux. If there is anything we can do to fix this in Bacula I should have a fix next week.
In the meantime you can use the Maximum Volume Bytes to work around the problem. That isn't a good long term solution though; since it doesn't account for the tape saved through compression. You could be wasting as much as half the tape. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:bacula-users- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian Debelius > Sent: Friday, March 30, 2007 6:21 AM > To: bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: [Bacula-users] Trying to workaround the MTWEOF error > > Is there a way I can work around the end of tape MTWEOF error by telling > bacula to limit the amount of data written to the tape?
