Hello,

I user bacula 1.32f - yeah I know, that this is quite old, but it is
really working fine for long now.

Everythings was ok, backup is running every day, no errors, everything
is fine.

Now I wanted to restore a file. But I always get the same error:

17-Aug-2005 16:25 SERVER-sd: RestoreFiles_CLIENT.2005-08-17_16.23.33 Fatal 
error: Open device /dev/st0 volume Tape-4-0001 failed, ERR=dev.c:261 stored: 
unable to open device /dev/st0: ERR=Input/output error
17-Aug-2005 16:25 SERVER-dir: RestoreFiles_CLIENT.2005-08-17_16.23.33 Error: 
Bacula 1.32f-4 (24Jan04): 17-Aug-2005 16:25

The settings for the restore are ok - there is not really something
that can be done wrongly. Whats the problem? A few weeks ago I added a
new client, maybe that can be the source of my problem. But i can't
hardly believe that that action causes this big problem. The rights and
so on is ok, otherwise the normal daily backup does not work.

Here is the main part of bacula-sd.conf:

Device {
  Name = Tape                       #
  Media Type = DDS-4
  Changer Device = /dev/sg2
  Label media = yes;
  Archive Device = /dev/st0;
  Changer Command = "/etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a"
  AutomaticMount = Yes;               # when device opened, read it
  Autochanger = Yes;
  # needed for automatic eject
  AlwaysOpen = no;
  RemovableMedia = yes;
  RandomAccess = no;
  TWO EOF = yes;
#  Backward Space Record = no;
}

As you can see, there is a autoloader attached at /dev/sg2, the tape is changed
every day automatically. When I do a restore, nothing happens with the
tape drive, no tape is loaded. I inserted in the mtx-changer-script some
debug output - but it seems, that that script is never executed.

So, I am really close to a big crash in my brain, why it is not working
here. Maybe anyone of you nice bacula enthusiastics can help me to solve
this problem?


Greets,
Thomas
