Yes, USB filesystems handled through hald are a bit problematic for current (non-development) versions of Bacula because the SD expects the mount point to exist before opening any Volume device. On hald mounted USB devices the mount point is defined when you open the file -- bizarre. Bacula 1.39.5 handles this, and I have back ported the code to 1.38.5, but have not had time to test it ... One can get around the hald problems (I think) by pre-mounting the filesystem before the SD attempts to open/access the Volume, but doing so would be a bit tricky ... > > So, before you start working around problems that might not exist in > future versions, it might be more interesting to find out if, what you > want, can be achieved easier. > > Arno > > > "status director" in the console tells me that the job is running. > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > >-------------------------------------------------------------------------- > >--------------- > > > > Running Jobs: > > Console connected at 15-Feb-06 09:42 > > JobId Level Name Status > > ====================================================================== > > 1201 Full HOG-Monthly.2006-02-15_10.45.23 is running > > ==== > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > >-------------------------------------------------------------------------- > >--------------- > > > > > > But why isn't there a volume defined yet?
