Mark, Arno,

 

      Thanks much for the replies.  For my Gentoo installation, here's what I get:

 

ns2 ns1 # echo -e "umount\n0\nq\n" | /var/lib/bacula/bconsole -c /etc/bacula/bconsole.conf

Connecting to Director ns2:9101

1000 OK: ns2-dir Version: 1.36.3 (22 April 2005)

Enter a period to cancel a command.

umount

Using default Catalog name=MyCatalog DB=bacula

Automatically selected Storage: Autoloader

3002 Device /dev/nst0 unmounted.

0

0: is an illegal command.

q

ns2 ns1 #

 

Am I supposed to substitute ‘n’ for something?

The pithy ruminations from "Jeremy Koppel" on

<[Bacula-users] Autoloader: Replace tape in magazine after backups complete?> w

ere:

 

=>

=> Well, we just had an autoloader go bad on us.  Quantum sent us a new

 

Ouch.

 

=> chassis under warranty, but there was a tape in the drive when the unit

=> tanked out on us.  There's no way to get at it manually, and no user

=> serviceable parts.  They tell me that the only way to get it out is by

=> disassembling the drive, which they'll do, but the process destroys the

=> tape.

 

Oh, that's bad. I've got the same thing with a long-out-of-warranty AIT2

changer.

 

=>

=> 

=>

=> So, I'm thinking it would be best to have Bacula replace whatever tape

=> it's using back in the autoloader when the last job of the night runs.

=> Anybody know how I'd configure that?

 

Sure. Assuming that your last backup job is to backup the Bacula catalog

database, and that there's a RunAfter directive that executes a script

like $BACULA/bin/delete_catalog_backup, I add to that script something

like:

 

################################################

/bin/echo -e "umount\n0\nq\n" | $BACULA/bin/bconsole -c $BACULA/etc/bconsole.conf

################################################

 

This will send the umount command to the Bacula bconsole program. Substitute

the correct path for your Bacula installation, and repeat the "umount" command

for each of the tape drives within the autochanger (specifying the drive

number).
