Notes on using Bacula in kFreeBSD
=================================

Using tapes
-----------

Using tapes is entirely untested. If you are willing to test please
note the following advice taken from FreeBSD(1) and report to
bacula@packages.debian.org:

"Due to lack of some features in the FreeBSD tape driver
implementation you MUST add some OS dependent options to the
bacula-sd.conf file:

 Hardware End of Medium = no;
 Backward Space Record  = no;
 Backward Space File    = no;

With 2 filemarks at EOT (see man mt):
  Fast Forward Space File = no;
  BSF at EOM = yes;
  TWO EOF    = yes;

With 1 filemarks at EOT (see man mt):
  Fast Forward Space File = yes;
  BSF at EOM = no;
  TWO EOF   = no;

NOTE: YOU CAN SWITCH EOT model ONLY when starting from scratch with
      EMPTY tapes."
