Hello List!

I am running a freshly compiled and installed bacula 1.38.3 on
ubuntu-server 5.10. I use a DVD-RAM device and media which i created
with mkfs.ext3 /dev/hdd.

I get the following error after starting a job:
----------------------------
Please mount Volume "RT_Backup_volume0001" on Storage Device
"DVD-Storage" (/dev/hdd) for Job Client1.2006-01-05_23.54.00

Hmm. You're on the wrong track here... you can't use the unmodified dvd-handler script. You have to implement (at least) the following functions:
- detect a DVD-RAM
- if necessary, format and mount (can be done later)
- free space estimate using df, for example
- write command using cp

...
Is it possible that the dvd-handle script detects my "rewriteable" DVD
and tries to find a previous RT_Backup_volume0001 Volume?

Even worse... it not only does that, but also decides that, in case it finds a file system where it looks, the disk is not empty. And, last time I checked, it didn't work at all with used disks. Finally, part of the mentioned behaviour comes from th SD itself.

What else could i do to debug this?

First, try tu understand dvd-handler itself. The script can be run from the shell, and it's easy to find the locations where you've got to implement new functions: everything DVD-specific (blanking, determining available space, and writing) needs to be replaced by something else. I expect that "something else" to be much simpler than what Nicolas and I wrote, btw.

Don't mount the DVD-RAM yourself, let the SD handle that. And try to use a FS which doesn't create lost+found directories, I suppose those confuse the DIR.

Thanks, Mario
