Hello list !

I'm using bacula 1.36.3 under debian linux (testing) with a 2.4 kernel.
My tape drive is a Sony SDX-500C (SCSI).

The backup machine runs for several months now without problem. At the moment when Bacula wants another tape I manually eject the tape, put another one in the tape drive and enter a mount request in bconsole.

At the end of the month I take my holidays, and the people who are supposed to change the tapes should have nothing more to do than eject the tape and insert a new one, without having to enter a mount request in bconsole.

After reading the manual, I added this in the device ressource in bacula-sd.conf file:
VolumePollInterval = 1 hour
CloseOnPoll = yes
OfflineOnUnmount = yes

but it doesn't work as expected... The tape is correctly ejected, but when I put another one and try a *mount in the console (for testing) I got the "3001 Device /dev/st0 is mounted; doing acquire." message... but nothing is done. After several minutes, I get a message : "08-Feb 17:13 phoenix-sd: phoenix-job.2006-02-08_17.06.49 Warning: Couldn't rewind device /dev/st0 ERR=dev.c:406 Rewind error on /dev/st0. ERR=Input/output error."

(I runned the btape test sucessfully.)

Any idea what I did wrong ?

Thanks (and sorry for my english)
