[pkg-bacula-devel] Bug#930931: Bug#930931: /usr/sbin/btape: btape crashes on "fill" test

[Sebastian Suchanek]

Hi!

For the avoidance of doubt: The bug I reported here and all the testing
I did in 2019 around this bug report all took place on my Bacula
production system.

In the meantime, I did set up an independent test system in order to
have more flexibility in testing and also to exclude hardware problems
other than those I already tested. Here's a quick overview of the test
system compared to the production system:

- System main components (e.g. mainboard, CPU, ...): all different from
  production system.
- Fibre Channel controler: different
  (production system: Emulex LPe11002; test system: QLogic QLE2460)
- Tape Library: same type as production system
- LTO5 drive: exact same drive as previously tested in production system

- Basic operating system: same as production system (Debian Stretch)
- Actual kernel running: different
  (production system: 4.9.0-12-amd64; test system: 4.9.0-14-amd64)
- Bacula version: same as production system:
  - bacula:                  7.4.4+dfsg-6+deb9u2
  - bacula-bscan:            9.4.2-1~bpo9+1
  - bacula-client:           7.4.4+dfsg-6+deb9u2
  - bacula-common:           9.4.2-1~bpo9+1
  - bacula-common-mysql:     9.4.2-1~bpo9+1
  - bacula-console:          9.4.2-1~bpo9+1
  - bacula-director:         9.4.2-1~bpo9+1
  - bacula-director-mysql:   9.4.2-1~bpo9+1
  - bacula-fd:               9.4.2-1~bpo9+1
  - bacula-sd:               9.4.2-1~bpo9+1
  - bacula-sd-dbgsym:        9.4.2-1~bpo9+1
  - bacula-server:           7.4.4+dfsg-6+deb9u2

Now, when I run tests on the test system with btape, both the "test"
test and the "fill" test work without any problems, i.e. no crash occurs.
