If they work and you have trouble when bacula-sd is going, then make sure you have released the tapes within bconsole before trying to move them around - and if bacula itself is reporting problems then make sure you have permisions set correctly for user bacula to execute commands ("su - bacula" and try mtx again) The thread a month ago was about the tape drives not being unlocked before bacula calls mtx - it's unknown if this is a bacula issue, a hardware issue or a race condition at this point. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.
