Thanks Kern,
Sorry, I got my terms confused. I read in the docs
that for dvd drives 800MB was the MaximumPartSize so
after the first 800MB was written the backup failed.
Here is my setup:
#
# A DVD device
#
Device {
Name = "DVD-WRITER"
Media Type = DVD
Archive Device = /dev/dvd
LabelMedia = yes; # lets Bacula
label unlabeled media
Random Access = Yes;
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device
opened, read it
RemovableMedia = yes;
AlwaysOpen = no;
MaximumPartSize = 800M;
RequiresMount = yes;
MountPoint = /mnt/dvd;
MountCommand = "/bin/mount -t iso9660 -o ro %a %m";
UnmountCommand = "/bin/umount %m";
SpoolDirectory = /tmp/backup;
WritePartCommand = "/etc/bacula/dvd-writepart %n %a
%v"
FreeSpaceCommand = "/etc/bacula/dvd-freespace %a %n"
}
I read my log and it said my client version was
1.34.6. (Feeling a little embarrassed). Sorry for the
error report... I thought I had 1.37.XX installed when
I did that test on Aug 1, 2005. I just checked
(remotely via bconsole in a ssh window) my current
version and it is 1.37.36, so I will upgrade to the
latest and try a backup sometime this weekend...
Thanks again Kern.
