Is anyone on the list using Bacula and have configured it?
yes
I keep getting the same ol' error no matter what ..
Reposition to file:block 0:4 26-Feb 18:35 btape: btape Error: block.c:264 Volume data error at 0:4! Wanted ID: "BB02", got "". Buffer discarded. btape: btape.c:979 Read block 5 failed! file=0 blk=4. ERR=Input/output error
btape: btape.c:989 This may be because the tape drive block size is not set to variable blocking as normally used by Bacula.
I remember something regarding this problem. This happens if the tape drive is in fixed block mode while Bacula's default is variable blocks. I was using tapes used previously with Arcserve on Windows and I had to change the block mode with 'mt -f /dev/nst0 setblk 0'. Anyway you should all the information you need in the documentation. You should still have a problem, you'd better subscribe to the bacula's mailing list, there is a good follow-up there. Regards, Gaël
