I'm test piloting bacula on a FreeBSD 5.4-REL system. All seemed to
work well in monitored tests. So last night I set up a job to run at
night. When I came in this morning, all seemed to go well...the
backup happened but I noticed 3 messages on the console:
(sa0:ahc0:0:6:0): 65536-byte tape record bigger than supplied buffer
(sa0:ahc0:0:6:0): 65536-byte tape record bigger than supplied buffer
(sa0:ahc0:0:6:0): 65536-byte tape record bigger than supplied buffer
The backup seemed to go okay as I restored several files off of that
tape with no problems. Realizing the console messages mean what it
does at face value, was any data lost(should i take this as a "warning"
or as an "error") ?
I've never used bacula, but no one else is jumping in...
1) Try restoring the whole tape to either an empty partition, or if you don't
have one of those, to /dev/null. /dev/null isn't conclusive proof, but I
assume that if data weas dropped then there *should* be a failed checksum
somewhere along the line.
2) See if you can't find some option to match the bacula record size to that of your tape
drive. Dump, for example, has a -b option e.g. "-b 64" to set its record size.
I'm puzzled by you only seeing three messages though. Why would three buffers be
smaller and not the rest?
