Hello Daniel,
This is usually to the drive tape being used on locked by any other process.
For example, you cannot even btape tests and have the tape drive locked by
Bacula Storage Daemon.

Hello all,
I am running Bacula 7.4.7 on a Centos 7 server with a HP-Overland tape /
autoloader.
Within bconsole I can inventory the autoloader, mount and move tapes around.
However, when I run btape -c /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf /dev/nst0 I get the

Hello,
I am attempting to use Bacula on a backup server and am having trouble with
btape test in the append files section. I have read the documentation,
searched on Google, and updated the firmware on my SAS card and tape drive.
I don't see any particularly helpful log messages on the system.
Hell Caribe,
Thanks for the feedback and the thanks. Having the btape fill
command fail was really very annoying. I am glad that is behind
us. It is not likely to happen again, because there are now two
regression tests that detect this problem.
Hi Kern,
I can also confirm that the btape fill test change succeeds on 7.4.5.
The output is below. Thank you for all your hard work!

Update: The problem of the btape fill command not working has been

It seems to be a false alert, but I haven't found the exact problem

Edition, so nothing is really fixed
That's sad to hear, but I'm glad to know that it's got a known issue

I've tried the single volume test with similar results (see below). Is
the breakage only in the multivolume test, or is the btape fill facility
just plain broken in 7.4.4?

Just a potshot guess, I don't have an auto-changer, but, isn't the
