I tried uninstalling bacula-* on my F29 system and then installing the old F28 packages (bacula-libs-9.0.6-8.fc28.x86_64.rpm bacula-client-9.0.6-8.fc28.x86_64.rpm bacula-storage-9.0.6-8.fc28.x86_64.rpm bacula-console-bat-9.0.6-8.fc28.x86_64.rpm bacula-director-9.0.6-8.fc28.x86_64.rpm bacula-console-9.0.6-8.fc28.x86_64.rpm bacula-libs-sql-9.0.6-8.fc28.x86_64.rpm bacula-common-9.0.6-8.fc28.x86_64.rpm) That did not change the problem, so the issue may be in the aic79xx driver in F29. Installing an old F28 kernel to my F29 system (kernel-devel-4.16.3-301.fc28.x86_64.rpm kernel-modules-4.16.3-301.fc28.x86_64.rpm kernel-modules-extra-4.16.3-301.fc28.x86_64.rpm kernel-core-4.16.3-301.fc28.x86_64.rpm) also fixes the problem, so the issue does appear to be there and not in Bacula itself. |
Description of problem: After upgrading to F29, Bacula failed to label tapes on a SCSI LTO-4 drive. A btape test could no longer seek to tape blocks. If I reboot to F28 using the same bacula-sd.conf, the test passes again. I'm not sure if this is a Bacula issue or a aic79xx issue. My SCSI card is using the aic79xx kernel module: aic79xx 151552 0 scsi_transport_spi 40960 1 aic79xx btape output under F29: sudo btape -c /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf /dev/nst0 Tape block granularity is 1024 bytes. btape: butil.c:290-0 Using device: "/dev/nst0" for writing. btape: btape.c:478-0 open device "LTO4" (/dev/nst0): OK *test === Write, rewind, and re-read test === I'm going to write 10000 records and an EOF then write 10000 records and an EOF, then rewind, and re-read the data to verify that it is correct. This is an *essential* feature ... btape: btape.c:1161-0 Wrote 10000 blocks of 64412 bytes. btape: btape.c:612-0 Wrote 1 EOF to "LTO4" (/dev/nst0) btape: btape.c:1177-0 Wrote 10000 blocks of 64412 bytes. btape: btape.c:612-0 Wrote 1 EOF to "LTO4" (/dev/nst0) btape: btape.c:1219-0 Rewind OK. 28-Dec 11:20 btape JobId 0: Fatal error: block_util.c:425 Volume data error at 0:0!

This test passes without problems on F28. Device config in bacula-sd.conf: Device { Name = LTO4 # Drive Index = 0 Media Type = LTO4 Archive Device = /dev/nst0 AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it AlwaysOpen = yes; RemovableMedia = yes; RandomAccess = no; Offline On Unmount = no; Maximum Open Wait = 43200; # wait 12h for new tape insert Maximum Block Size = 64512 Maximum File Size = 5G; Maximum Spool Size = 96G; Spool Directory = /mnt/ssdspool/baculaspooldir } Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): bacula-libs-9.2.1-1.fc29.x86_64 bacula-client-9.2.1-1.fc29.x86_64 bacula-storage-9.2.1-1.fc29.x86_64 bacula-console-bat-9.2.1-1.fc29.x86_64 bacula-director-9.2.1-1.fc29.x86_64 bacula-console-9.2.1-1.fc29.x86_64 bacula-libs-sql-9.2.1-1.fc29.x86_64 bacula-common-9.2.1-1.fc29.x86_64 kernel-modules-4.19.10-300.fc29.x86_64 (aic79xx.ko.xz) How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure bacula for SCSI LTO4 device on /dev/nst0 2. run btape test on blank tape Actual results: Test fails with an error related to block seeking. Expected results: Test passes. Additional info: Same configuration, devices, and tapes work on F28.
