Re: [Bacula-users] mt Command and Tape ONLINE status
Lenny does have mt-st http://packages.debian.org/lenny/mt-st so you could try that, instead of gnu mt. I just looked at the mtx-changer from lenny, and it looks like it should work with either mt (as in the one that returns ONLINE, and the one that just returns 'drive status'), so I do not know why it is not. I thought that none of the Debian mt ever returned ONLINE only 'drive status'.

Re: [Bacula-users] mt Command and Tape ONLINE status
There are 2 different mt programs. One is from cpio (i think), and the other is from the mt-st package. I think you are having problems detecting which mt you have. At the beginning of mtx-changer is a case function that sets the ready string for wait_for_drive. The newer mtx-changer script correctly handles this. I think you need to modify your mtx-changer to look like this (or use the current mtx-changer) Linux) ready="ONLINE" if test -f /etc/debian_version ; then mt --version | grep "mt-st" > /dev/null 2>&1 if test $? -eq 1; then ready="drive status" fi fi Thomas wrote: > without tape i get this output > > lenny: > time mt -f /dev/nst1 status > mt: /dev/nst1: rmtopen failed: Kein Medium gefunden > > real2m0.530s > user0m0.000s > sys 0m0.000s > > etch > time /etc/bacula/mt -f /dev/nst1 status > /etc/bacula/mt: /dev/nst1: Kein Medium gefunden > > real0m0.016s > user0m0.000s > sys 0m0.000s > > > the new mt version needs 2 minutes > > Arno Lehmann schrieb: > >> Hi, >> >> 17.02.2009 09:48, Thomas wrote: >> >>> Hi List, >>> >>> yesterday i did an upgrade from etch to lenny. >>> after the update bacula was no longer able to verify >>> that the tapes are loaded correctly. >>> >> ... >> >>> but the mt output shows no ONLINE >>> >>> >>> zlato:~# mt -f /dev/nst0 status >>> drive type = 114 >>> drive status = 1224736768 >>> sense key error = 0 >>> residue count = 0 >>> file number = 0 >>> block number = 0 >>> zlato:~# >>> >>> this is the output from the etch mt: >>> >>> /etc/bacula/mt -f /dev/nst0 status >>> drive type = Generic SCSI-2 tape >>> drive status = 1224736768 >>> sense key error = 0 >>> residue count = 0 >>> file number = 4 >>> block number = 0 >>> Tape block size 0 bytes.
