I am a light user of bacula
I have a bacula system that has been working for maybe 10 months now. We did a
shutdown of the server last friday without first stopping the bacula service
(should i?) and after we rebooted and started the bacula service I have a big
problem: bacula tapes do not seem to be recognized althouth already in the
database and
used. Although the right tape was mounted already , bacula gave this error
07-Aug 01:15 head-sd: Please mount Volume "B0000003" on Storage Device
"Exabyte"
for Job Client1.2005-08-07_01.05.00
Here i stopped bacula and i did a mtx status which seems to give the correct
results that B0000003 is in the tape drive.
# mtx status
Storage Changer /dev/changer:1 Drives, 10 Slots ( 0 Import/Export )
Data Transfer Element 0:Full (Storage Element 3 Loaded):VolumeTag = B0000003
Storage Element 1:Full :VolumeTag=B0000001
Storage Element 2:Full :VolumeTag=B0000002
Storage Element 3:Empty:VolumeTag=
Storage Element 4:Full :VolumeTag=B0000004
Storage Element 5:Full :VolumeTag=B0000005
Storage Element 6:Full :VolumeTag=B0000006
Storage Element 7:Full :VolumeTag=B0000007
Storage Element 8:Full :VolumeTag=B0000008
Storage Element 9:Full :VolumeTag=B0000009
Storage Element 10:Full :VolumeTag=CLNA0002
I tried another tape, B0000004, and with the same problem (now i tried mount
command just to see what it says):
* mount
The defined Storage resources are:
1: File
2: Exabyte
Select Storage resource (1-2): 2
3905 Device /dev/nst0 open but no Bacula volume is mounted.
If this is not a blank tape, try unmounting and remounting the Volume.
Any idea why already bacula-written tapes are not recognized anymore as such?
I could maybe use btape to relabel the tapes but wanted to ask first. The data
on the tapes is not so crucial i believe, so it maybe ok to start fresh but
still i would like to see what is wrong.
More info: I use bacula 1.36.0 and an exabyte exabyte VXA2 PacketLoader 1x10 1U
Autoloader
Thanks very much in advance for the help.
