Dear bacula insiders,
I got a replacement for my old DDS5 - a LTO4.
Setup is D2D2T.
The problem is not the setup, but the tape drive utilization.
The disk-storage can provide well over 300MByte/s, and using tar with -b
126 or dump or dd, I see 78-160MB/s moving to the drive. So the problem
is
I am trying a full backup/multi-job to a single client and all was going well
until this morning when I received the error below. All other jobs were also
canceled.
My question is two fold:
1) What the heck is this error? I can unmount the drive, issue a rawfill to
the tape w/ btape

AFAIK LTO-Drives have adaptive speeds compared to older technologies. If
the data comes in slower, the drive will just run slower

Daniel,
You need to verify that you have the proper SDKs. To do this look in the
/Developer/SDKs/ directory and you should see MacOSX10.4u.sdk, MacOSX10.5.sdk
and MacOSX10.6.sdk if you don't see all three SDKs then grab a Snow Leopard DVD
and open the 'Optional Installs' folder and double

Hi Mike,
Due to the amount of data and machines I'll be backing up, I can see
that when the first of the month comes around, running all my level

Just had a quick look... the read-only message is this in stored/block.c:
if (!dev-can_append()) {
dev-dev_errno = EIO;
Jmsg1(jcr, M_FATAL, 0, _(Attempt to write on read-only Volume. dev=%s\n),
dev-print_name());
return false;
}
And can_append() is:
int can_append() const { return

I suggest running smaller jobs. I don't mean to sound trite, but thatreally is
the solution. Given that the alternative is non-trivial, thesensible choice
is, I'm afraid, cancel the job.
I'm already kicking off 20+ jobs for a single system already. This does not
