I don't know your environment, so I don't know if this guess is totally nonsense. But I recently had a situation that Bacula with a VXA-2 drive started marking tapes either "full" or "error" very early -a lot below drive's specified uncompressed capacity. The drive in question was internal one. This started after I had upgraded the cpu to a one that produced a bit more heat, thus increasing the temperature inside the computer. Finally, I had it debugged (thru scsi interface) to see that tape path temperature inside the drive right after error had rosen over drive's specified maximum during a longer write session, which caused the drive to stop to protect tape from overheating. As said, this don't have to have anything to do with your problem, but I'd recommend you to try if you can write an uninterrupted tapefull of data with other tools (like tar). -- TiN ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
