Hi,
I'm using bacula version 1.38.8 compiled from source.
I'm trying to run the "btape fill" test and am expecting it to use the
autoloader without any intervention required. It's not working.
Although I've got my Autochanger configured and tapes in slots 1 and 2,
the 'btape fill' command tries to rewind and label the nonexistent tape
in the drive, and then attempts to fill it. It's not prompting for the
first tape, nor is it loading the tape from slot 1 into the drive.
I've attached output from running 'btape fill' and the mtx status
command. Relevant portions of my bacula-sd.conf are below.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Sections from bacula-sd.conf:
Autochanger {
Name = Exabyte Magnum 1x7 LTO-3
Device = LTO-3_1
Changer Command = "/etc/bacula/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
Changer Device = /dev/sg2
}
Device {
Name = LTO-3_1 #
Drive Index = 0
Media Type = LTO-3
Device Type = Tape
Archive Device = /dev/nst0
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
AutoChanger = yes
# Enable the Alert command only if you have the mtx package loaded
Alert Command = "sh -c 'tapeinfo -f %c |grep TapeAlert|cat'"
}

*fill
This command simulates Bacula writing to a tape.
It requires either one or two blank tapes, which it
will label and write.
If you have an autochanger configured, it will use
the tapes that are in slots 1 and 2, otherwise, you will
be prompted to insert the tapes when necessary.
It will print a status approximately
every 322 MB, and write an EOF every 3.2 GB. If you have
selected the simple test option, after writing the first tape
it will rewind it and re-read the last block written.
If you have selected the multiple tape test, when the first tape
fills, it will ask for a second, and after writing a few more
blocks, it will stop. Then it will begin re-reading the
two tapes.
This may take a long time -- hours! ...
Do you want to run the simplified test (s) with one tape
or the complete multiple tape (m) test: (s/m) m
Multiple tape test selected.
