I am having a problem picking tapes from the scratch pool using an
autochanger. Here is exactly what is going on:
I have an autochanger with tapes 000200 - 000217 labeled in the Scratch
Pool. According to the bacula documentation, these tapes will be pulled
into the necessary pools as needed when those pools do not have any
appendable tapes. 'List Volumes' currently shows:
Pool: Scratch

As you can tell, tapes 204 and 205 are the first appendable volumes that
are in the changer. However, when bacula goes to grab a tape for a job,
it grabs 217, though it *thinks* that it is grabbing 209. Here is the
output of the job:
07-Feb 09:41 backuptest-dir: No prior Full backup Job record found.
07-Feb 09:41 backuptest-dir: No prior or suitable Full backup found.
Doing FULL backup.
07-Feb 09:41 backuptest-dir: Start Backup JobId 6,
Job=BackupWindows.2006-02-07_09.41.36
07-Feb 09:41 backuptest-dir: Using Volume "000209" from 'Scratch' pool.
07-Feb 09:41 backuptest-sd: 3301 Issuing autochanger "loaded drive 0"
command.
07-Feb 09:41 backuptest-sd: 3302 Autochanger "loaded drive 0", result:
nothing loaded.
07-Feb 09:41 backuptest-sd: 3301 Issuing autochanger "loaded drive 0"
command.
07-Feb 09:41 backuptest-sd: 3302 Autochanger "loaded drive 0", result:
nothing loaded.
07-Feb 09:41 backuptest-sd: Please mount Volume "000209" on Storage
Device "SDX-700C" (/dev/nst0) for Job BackupWindows.2006-02-07_09.41.36
I am not quite sure why it is asking for volume 209, since it knows it
is not in the changer. I am sure that there is an option I am missing
somewhere, but I just cant seem to find it. Here is the device
configuration:
Autochanger {
Name = TLS-4220
Device = SDX-700C
Changer Device = /dev/sg0
Changer Command = "/var/lib/bacula/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
}
Device {
Name = SDX-700C #
Media Type = AIT-3
Archive Device = /dev/nst0
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
AutoChanger = yes
Spool Directory = /tmp/bacula-spool
Maximum Network Buffer Size = 65536
}
We would like the changer to grab the first available tape from the
scratch pool that is in the changer. This seems like it would be a
logical choice.
