Hi! I just tried to test a tape I suspect to be faulty. In addition I dd'ed random data somewhere onto that tape to test drive speed. I started a "verify" on the first job I wrote to the tape, fully expecting it to fail. Instead I just got a message:
30-Mar 11:57 mail-sd: verify.2006-03-30_11.49.06 Error: block.c:263 Volume data error at 1:0! Wanted ID: "BB02", got "/m". Buffer discarded. The full log is: Mar 30 11:49:08 mail bacula-dir: mail-dir: Verifying against JobId=13 Job=system.2006-03-29_20.14.52 Mar 30 11:49:08 mail bacula-dir: mail-dir: Bootstrap records written to /var/bacula/working/mail-dir.restore.verify.2006-03-30_11.49.06.bsr Mar 30 11:49:08 mail bacula-dir: mail-dir: Mar 30 11:49:08 mail bacula-dir: mail-dir: The job will require the following Volumes: Mar 30 11:49:08 mail bacula-dir: mail-dir: Mar 30 11:49:08 mail bacula-dir: mail-dir: test Mar 30 11:49:08 mail bacula-dir: mail-dir: Mar 30 11:49:08 mail bacula-dir: mail-dir: Start Verify JobId=16 Level=VolumeToCatalog Job=verify.2006-03-30_11.49.06 Mar 30 11:49:15 mail bacula-dir: mail-sd: Ready to read from volume "test" on device "DLT" (/dev/nst0).
