I tried Arno's suggestions, but to no avail. I ended up doing the following: - bcopy the hosed tape (MSR133L3) to another file (FILE0003) - rewind, weof, and relabel MSR133L3 - compared file indeces of FILE0003 and FILE0002 by using bls ... There were duplicate file indeces... Hence the errors - wrote a bootstrap file to only get certain file indeces from FILE0003, and ran a bcopy -b with this bootstrap file to copy FILE0003 to MSR133L3 - then, i just continued with the original command that I was trying to run before the infamous <CTL<C> heard around the world: bcopy -c /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf -i FILE0002 -o MSR133L3 -v -w /var/bacula/spool VG1-LV0 Drive-1
This seemed to work fine... Bacula seemed to like this... No more errors... 8-) Martin Simmons wrote: >>>>>> On Wed, 02 May 2007 12:01:08 -0400, Mike Seda said: >>>>>> >> Hi All, >> Basically, the error that I received during a bcopy from disk to tape >> was the following: >> >> 01-May 22:48 bcopy: Volume "MSR133L3" previously written, moving to end >> of data. >> 01-May 22:48 bcopy: bcopy Error: I cannot write on Volume "MSR133L3" >> because: >> The number of files mismatch!
