Have you looked at the comment below about crontab? https://www.bacula.org/9.4.x-manuals/en/problems/Testing_Your_Tape_Drive_Wit.html#SECTION00432000000000000000
Is there anything in the syslog (e.g. /var/log/messages or dmesg) at the time of the write errors? Also (probably unrelated), why are you using the auto-rewind device (/dev/st1) rather than the non-rewind one (/dev/nst1)? __Martin >>>>> On Mon, 10 Feb 2020 09:29:53 -0800, John Nyhuis said: > > My most recent job failed with the following errors: > > 02-Feb 12:24 Scalar-i40 JobId 123: Committing spooled data to Volume > "000012".
