Greetings: Since my baffled post I've been doing some testing w/various sd.conf tweaks. btape results and fbsd ports message initially recommended:
Due to lack of some features in the FreeBSD tape driver implementation you MUST add some OS dependent options to the bacula-sd.conf file: Hardware End of Medium = no; Backward Space Record = no; Backward Space File = no; With 2 filemarks at EOT (see man mt): Fast Forward Space File = no; BSF at EOM = yes; TWO EOF = yes; While btape completes w/above no problem, from man mt it looks like FBSD supports bsr, however, and a few tests from command line seem to confirm so I trimmed sd.conf down thusly: Hardware End of Medium = no; Fast Forward Space File = no; BSF at EOM = yes; TWO EOF = yes; btape test completes fine and no longer recommend the bsr related tweaks. Maybe they're not necessary and btape should be modified? Don't know about fill results yet - running now. Hopefully I'll encounter the magic incantation to get my autochanger to actually change tapes... -- Best regards, Ken Gunderson GPG Key -- 9F5179FD "Never hold discussions with the monkey when the organ grinder is in the room." - Sir Winston Churchill ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
