I also think the tape itself is fine, since this has happened many times now.. I don't think all of the tapes are bad. I'm also using Adaptec 29160 SCSI HBA to connect to the tape library. I wonder what would be the best way to debug this.. Now after bacula hang the first time I'm not able to get it running again.. it always just hangs when I do "sta storage".. and nothing happens for real. I guess the tape drive/library is in some bad state? Or the SCSI driver? Let's see if rebooting the server gets it running again.. -- Pasi > Nils > > Pasi Kärkkäinen schrieb: > > On Thu, Nov 27, 2008 at 05:53:41PM +0100, Arno Lehmann wrote: > > > >> Hi, > >> > >> 27.11.2008 15:10, Pasi Kärkkäinen wrote: > >> > >>> On Thu, Nov 27, 2008 at 08:14:45AM +0100, Arno Lehmann wrote: > >>> > >>>> Hi, > >>>> > >>>> 26.11.2008 21:22, Bob Hetzel wrote: > >>>> > >>>>> I've got bacula currently in a hung state with the following > >>>>> interesting > >>>>> info.
