# ls -l /dev/nst0 crw-rw---- 1 root disk 9, 128 Jul 5 04:38 /dev/nst0 and I have changed end_of_backup.sh # cat end_of_backup.sh #! /bin/sh /etc/bacula/delete_catalog_backup mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind mt -f /dev/nst0 eject #mt rewind #mt eject exit 0 and I suppose that we will see tonight but I am certain that this is the setup that I have been using for the past week and it has never ejected a tape - and as you can see...the group 'disk' does indeed have rw privileges on /dev/nst0 and as demonstrated before, the disk group includes bacula user which is the user running bacula-sd. # ps aux|grep bacula bacula 10779 0.0 0.1 39092 1824 ?
