As the uncompressed capacity of the drive is 800GB, if you are getting
900GB on, it sounds like you are already using compression.
The 1600GB quoted figure figure assumes a compression ratio of 2:1,
which is rather can be rather optimistic depending on the data that you
are trying to back up.

It sounds like SCSI generic is missing from your kernel.

Hi,
I've defined pools F01, F02, ..., F10 in my director config.
I've loaded the autochanger with a pile of tapes which have a barcodef
name prefixed with the name of the pool I want to add it to.
So for instance tape F01T01L4 should go into pool F01, F09T02L4 should
go into pool F09.

You need '--with-qwt=/usr/local/qwt-5.0.2'
if you look at the autoconf checks it looks for include/qwt.h, not lib -

Hi,
I'm trying to compile a statically linked fd with openssl support from
bacula 2.2.5. Should this configuration work?
My configure line is:
./configure --enable-static-fd --enable-client-only --with-openssl
Unfortunately the compile fails whilst it's trying to link the fd:

Sounds like bug #952 which I believe is fixed. Make sure you've got the
most recent version (IIRC it was fixed in 2.2.4 or 2.2.5).

I am currently struggling to get any kind of reasonable performance out
of Bacula on my LTO 4 tape size. I have done a considerable of testing
and benchmarking, and my hunch is that bacula's block size of 64512
bytes is causing the performance problems.
To test the drive, I used tar, with
