Hi,
I'm new to bacula.
I looked in the manual and the mailing list but didn't find a solution.
I'm using bacula 1.36.3 on a debian sarge system. Connected to the
system is a exabyte 221L with one IBM LTO-1 drive.
I got jobs scheduled which run fine. When there is no tape in the drive
it loads the tape. But sometimes when a job starts it keeps waiting for
a tape in the drive (there isn't one) and fails after a while saying:
<message>
BackupCatalog.2006-02-15_01.10.00 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
15-Feb 03:07 fs2-fd: BackupCatalog.2006-02-15_01.10.00 Fatal error:
job.c:1665 Bad response to Append Data command. Wanted 3000 OK data
, got 3903 Error append data
</message>
It didn't issue the 'mtx-changer loaded' and 'mtx-changer loaded'
commands, which, i think, it should have.
Anyone an idea why this is done?
Underneath the device resource for the exabyte.
<in bacula-sd.conf>
# EXABYTE 221L tape changer with IBM LTO-1 drive
Device {
Name = EXABYTE
Media Type = LTO-1
Archive Device = /dev/nst0
AutomaticMount = no; # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = no;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
AutoChanger = yes
Changer Device = /dev/sg2
Changer Command = "/etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
Alert Command = "sh -c 'tapeinfo -f %c |grep TapeAlert|cat'"
Maximum Changer Wait = 120 seconds
}
</in bacula-sd.conf>
