Dear
All,
I hope that someone can
shed some light on this.
I'm writing my backups to
DVD+RW. All seems to work very well with a virgin, never-before-written DVD.
In testing the DVD using dvd-handler script, I can see that the status of
the DVD is blank. However, if I use a DVD+RW that has been previously written
and blanked according to the instructions at http://bacula.org/rel-manual/DVD_Volumes.html#SECTION000263000000000000000,
the DVD+RW is now no longer reported as blank. dvd+rw-mediainfo reports such as "Disc
Status: complete". However, dvd-handler is expecting "blank" to identify an
empty DVD+RW. As suggested in the manual, I've tried to mount the DVD
using the linux mount command which fails because there is no file system on it.
I should therefore expect that bacula could use it. However, it seems that
bacula regards the DVD as not empty, tries to mount it and
fails.
In summary: a
never-before-used DVD+RW works as expected. A DVD+RW that has been used before,
but blanked according to the instructions in the manual does not have a file
system, but bacula does not regard it as blank. As a consequence, bacula tries
to mount it and fails because there is no file system. Seems like a catch-22 to
me.
Has anyone seen this
behaviour before (I suspect it's due to a quirk in my DVD writer) and did you
find any solution?
Best
regards
Nicole
