Hi all, I have some trouble with volume labeling (Bacula 1.38.5 on CentOS 4.2 with the latest patches). I do my backups to disk only and defined two jobs that use different storages and pools but the same label format. Do the following the reproduce the behavior:
Do 10 backups only with the first job. After that try to run the second job. This will fail with the following error messages: (...) 25-Feb 22:25 maindirector: testB.2006-02-25_22.25.32 Warning: Wanted to create Volume "full_volume0001", but it already exists. Trying again. 25-Feb 22:25 maindirector: testB.2006-02-25_22.25.32 Warning: Wanted to create Volume "full_volume0002", but it already exists. Trying again. 25-Feb 22:25 maindirector: testB.2006-02-25_22.25.32 Warning: Wanted to create Volume "full_volume0003", but it already exists. Trying again. (...) 25-Feb 22:25 maindirector: testB.2006-02-25_22.25.32 Warning: Wanted to create Volume "full_volume0010", but it already exists. Trying again. 25-Feb 22:25 maindirector: testB.2006-02-25_22.25.32 Error: Too many failures. Giving up creating Volume name. "list volumes" in the console shows that the names full_volume{1-10} already exist in pool A - but the second job should use pool B on a completely different storage device. I expected that Bacula would assign the name "full_volume0001" two times (one for each pool). If that is not possible for some reason I think the algorithm should be smarter not to start always from (# volumes in this pool) + 1. Is the current behavior a "bug" or a feature? fs PS: Jeffrey L. Taylor experienced the same error but obviously nobody answered (http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=12059869) and I did not find any other pointers regarding this problem. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
