[Bacula-users] RES: LTO-3 tape not compressing data/premature end of tape space
Certainly. The schedule comprises 6 different tapes, between monthly and weekly pools, and the problem is exactly the same with all of them.

The problem: bacula is only filling LTO-3 until exactly 394.38 GB and not going any further a single byte. Looks like tape compression is not taking place. Bconsole shows this error below and then keeps asking to mount another volume: 01-Sep 00:57 br01 JobId 546: End of medium on Volume S002 Bytes=423,463,799,808 Blocks=6,564,108 at 01-Sep-2010 00:57. Have you tried a different tape? John -- This SF.net Dev2Dev email is sponsored by: Show off your parallel programming skills.

Is Maximum Volume Bytes set in the catalog for these tapes? On 9/1/2010 9:15 AM, Rodrigo Ferraz wrote: Certainly.

Rodrigo If you have the 'tapeinfo' command you can also check to see if the generic SCSI device has HW compression enabled (shows up as DataCompEnabled in my environment). -se -- This SF.net Dev2Dev email is sponsored by: Show off your parallel programming skills.
