=== 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 ...

Now the important part, I am going to attempt to append to the tape.

Doing Bacula scan of blocks:

End of File mark.
2 blocks of 64448 bytes in file 2
End of File mark.
3 blocks of 64448 bytes in file 3
End of File mark.
Total files=3, blocks=6, bytes = 386,688
End scanning the tape.
We should be in file 4. I am at file 3. This is NOT correct!!!!


It looks like the append failed. Attempting again.
Setting "BSF at EOM = yes" and retrying append test.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Unable to correct the problem. You MUST fix this
problem before Bacula can use your tape drive correctly

Perhaps running Bacula in fixed block mode will work.
Do so by setting:

Minimum Block Size = nnn
Maximum Block Size = nnn

in your Storage daemon's Device definition.
nnn must match your tape driver's block size, which
can be determined by reading your tape manufacturers
information, and the information on your kernel dirver.
Fixed block sizes, however, are not normally an ideal solution.

Some systems, e.g. OpenBSD, require you to set
   Use MTIOCGET= no
in your device resource. Use with caution.
