Dear John. On my tape(s) is the following description: Tandberg Data LTO ULTRIUM LTO 5 Cartridge 1.5 TB, 3.0 TB UNCOMPRESSED. Thus I think that is an LTO-5 Tape.
On the other hand there exists the same types of tapes from Tandberg as well in another pool and this backups run very well. So I think it could not be a problem of the scsi-bus, isn't it? br Robert Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards Robert Kromoser SAP Technology Consultant / System Administrator KINAMU Business Solutions AG Concorde Business Park 2 / F12 2320 Schwechat, Austria Tel: +43 1 30620 - 124 Fax: +43 1 30620 - 9000 robert.kromo...@kinamu.com http://www.kinamu.com KINAMU Deutschland GmbH Crusiusstrasse 1 80538 München, Deutschland Tel: +49 89 / 381 698 82 Fax: +49 89 / 613 944 50 -----Original Message----- From: John Drescher [mailto:dresche...@gmail.com] Sent: Mittwoch, 16.

You could fit 800GB on one LTO5 tape and 8TB on a second depending on how your data compresses. Just make sure someone did not configure to stop after 400GB by putting limits on the volume size in the Pool directive. Most likely your problem is you are using an LTO3 tape, possibly somehow have the tape partitioned or a tape error has occurred. With tapes bacula writes to the tape until it hits its first error. When it hits that error it marks the tape full. Check your dmesg for scsi errors.
