Evening...
I'm repeatedly seeing the following messages cancelling my backup jobs:
==============================
03-Nov 08:11 torf-dir: Start Backup JobId 206,
Job=BackupCatalog.2005-11-03_08.10.00
03-Nov 08:13 torf-sd: BackupCatalog.2005-11-03_08.10.00 Fatal error:
device.c:317 Unable to open device /dev/nst0. ERR=dev.c:289 stored: unable
to open device /dev/nst0: ERR=Input/output error
03-Nov 08:13 torf-fd: BackupCatalog.2005-11-03_08.10.00 Fatal error:

03-Nov 08:13 torf-dir: BackupCatalog.2005-11-03_08.10.00 Error: Bacula
1.36.2 (28Feb05): 03-Nov-2005 08:13:26
==============================
The storage daemon should be able to open /dev/nst0. "lsof" shows
no other processes accessing it. So I don't see a reason why Bacula
is unable to open that device. Once I saw that error message (from a status
email telling me the backup has failed) all subsequent backups will fail
with the same error. But when I restart both the director and the storage
daemon I can suddenly run a successful backup.
This is my Device configuration in the storage daemons config file:
Device {
Name = Streamer
Media Type = DDS-3
Archive Device = /dev/nst0
AutomaticMount = yes;
AlwaysOpen = no;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
VolumePollInterval = 60
OfflineOnUnmount = yes
CloseOnPoll = no
MaximumOpenWait = 2 days
}
Is there anything I can try to debug in this special case? It's a DDS-3
streamer (SCSI) driven by a 2.6.10 Linux kernel. Currently half of my jobs
need to be re-done manually which is a bit annoying.
I'm running Bacula version 1.36.2 on Debian/Sarge.
