I am not sure whether the following fits to your problem (I did not follow this thread). If it doesn't help, please ignore my post: I am using 'UDF formatted DVD-RAMs' for backup at home. So it's the write-files-to-disk approach rather than the write-data-part-to-media approach. To mount the media automatically when bacula needs it (and umount after backup) I am using autofs. That is a daemon which does the 'mount/umount' part for you (or bacula for that matter). It requires similar informations as in fstab. Then it listens on the mount point through some kernel mechanism. Whenever a program (ie bacula-sd) is trying to access the directory, autofs will kick in and perform the mount operation as per configuration. The accessing program (bacula-sd) is just put on hold for as long as it takes. Once mounted autofs will keep on watching the mount point. When it is idle for a certain amount of time, it will just umount it. The cool thing is that I can always change DVDs without doing anything but pressing the eject button on the drive (it's locked when mounted). No additional scripting and/or RunBefore/After jobs needed in bacula. I can post the config if anyone is interested. Just let me know. best regards, Stephan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
