From my experience the density code does not mean anything. The tape block size of 0 bytes indicates that the tape drive is set for variable block size which is what bacula wants by default.

There's no reference in any of my configs anywhere (dir, sd, fd) on either machine to that IP, so it makes me think the Director is resolving it, using that value internally, and then passing that over the wire instead of the FQDN specified in my config.

[Bacula-users] Access denied errors but clean exit?
Hi All, I have a windows 2003 server that uses EFS in a few areas. I understand that bacula can't handle these currently and that's fine. I believe the use of EFS here is an inherited error that will likely go away. What concerns me though is that the job log indicates 'ERR=Access denied' for each of the affected files but the status of the job is still 'OK.' Shouldn't this generate at least an 'OK (with Warnings)' status?
