I have a Sony SDX-400V which I think is an AIT-1 drive. I ran all the utils (I
am using Fedora F9) I could find and I think I got it working
("/root/bacula/bin/btape -c bacula-sd.conf /dev/st0" runs a test correctly). I
took a giant SWAG at how to setup the bacula-sd-conf. I have no idea if half
the stuff is correct...can someone out there verify that this is correct?
Device {
Name = Sony_SDX-400V
Media Type = 8mmAIT-2 # (what is this supposed to be set to??)
#Archive Device = /dev/nst0
Archive Device = /dev/st0
AutomaticMount = yes
AlwaysOpen = yes
RemovableMedia = yes
RandomAccess = no;
Drive Index = 1
# as recommended by btape
# Hardware End of Medium = yes
BSF at EOM = no
# Autochanger = Yes
# Changer Device = /dev/changer
# Changer Command = "/home/bacula/etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a 1"
LabelMedia = yes
}
Here is the output from the different system utilities:
