Hello, I've taken a look at this patch, and may add it to Bacula, but the patch is not really the correct way to solve the problem. When labeling a Volume for the first time, Bacula writes a pre-label, which means the name of the Volume is there, but not all the other information needed for the label. When the Volume is first written with data, the label is re-written and changed from pre-label to a real label.
Apparently this is what is failing in the CD writing, and you have simply bypassed this step. Now, the patch may seem to work, but in fact, you are then left with a Volume that is not correctly labeled, and I am not 100% certain what kinds of problems, if any, will occur later. >> I haven't checked this, but the latest release announcement doesn't >> mention such fix, so it probably didn't.
