For anyone facing this problem: I found a workaround. The mt commands return value is the problem. So I am using now tapeinfo as a replacement. At you own risk you could try to replace the `wait_for_drive` function by ``` wait_for_drive() { i=0 while [ $i -le 300 ]; do # Wait max 300 seconds # Code Changed because mt has stopped working in December 2020. This is a provisional fix... #if mt -f $1 status 2>&1 | grep "${ready}" >/dev/null 2>&1; then if tapeinfo -f $1 2>&1 | grep "Ready: yes" >/dev/null 2>&1; then break fi debug "Device $1 - not ready, retrying..." sleep 1 i=`expr $i + 1` done } ``` Might or might not work on different systems. To work bareos-sd has to run as root on my machine. PS: I found out that the mt command returns """ uranus:~ # mt -f /dev/tape/by-id/scsi-300e09e60001ce29a-nst status Unknown tape drive: file no= -1 block no= -1 """ so this might be the reason why it stopped working. But I am unable to find out why the output of mt has changed. |
