I had stopped bacula-sd when I did the above. However I may have caused a problem earlier (while still running bacula-sd) because I had a tape labelled under v2.4.4 which had no catalogue after my upgrade, so I attempted to use the "brute force" approach to write an end of file mark on the tape as set out here: http://www.bacula.org/3.0.x-manuals/en/console/console/Bacula_Console.html#215 Is the best thing to do to: * restart the tape library * stop all bacula daemons * brute force and EOF to each tape with a previous label that I want to re-use * start all bacula daemons * label each tape required, as before?
