AFAIK the rewind isn't really necessary since bacula rewinds the tape as soon as it's mounted but this is up to you. You might try using 'mt -f /dev/st0 offline' instead of 'mt -f /dev/st0 eject' since offline is supposed to be the same as eject according to mt(1). >From the driver/hardware point of view I don't know what the difference is between 'offline' and 'eject' but 'offline' works fine here. The OfflineOnUnmount directive shouldn't eject the tape until the tape is unmounted by bacula (either automatically or by the unmount command in the console). I suspect that what's happening here is that you're still using the eject_tape script in the RunAfterJob and regardless of whether the 'mt eject' is working it's still unmounting storage=Tape which is causing bacula to eject the tape. Personally, I would handle this by leaving the OfflineOnUnmount turned on and creating an Admin job which executes your eject_tape script. Then comment out the mt rewind and eject lines so that the script just tells bacula to unmount the drive. Comment out the RunAfterJob which calls eject_tape in your other Job(s). Set a high number for Priority on this Admin job, and schedule it to run at the same time as your other jobs. In theory this would let your jobs run normally, then when all of your jobs have finished the Admin job will run, the script will unmount the storage resource, and bacula will eject your tape. Hope this helps. :-) > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO > September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development > Lifecycle Practices > Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * > Testing & QA > Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * > http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf > _______________________________________________ > Bacula-users mailing list > Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users Thanks, Chris ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
