https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=208782 ------- Comment #27 from kern@sibbald.com 2006-10-06 01:59 MST ------- Yes, as I mentioned, I suspect that my testing of the failure prior to loading your rpm corrupted something. I was able to reproduce the EBUSY error, but the kernel didn't want to Oops, so I suspect things went downhill before installing your kernel. Fortunately I didn't run it on my development machine.
From your comments, I'm beginning to think that I did not explain the problem well enough. The kernel Oops that I am seeing *always* occurs when there is a tape in the drive. Bacula should never attempt to read() a drive that is empty -- it may attempt a rewind(), but *all* my tests and *all* my Oops were done with a tape in the drive.
So, just one question: Is the st-no-tape.diff patch supposed to fix the kernel Oops problem? If so, I can try applying it and building it manually. I've manually built/installed hundreds of RH/Fedora kernels, so it shouldn't be a problem in principle since I see that you have a kernel-source rpm, which I have just loaded. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
