Well, Richard did report a problem with manually labeling a DVD in the latest code, so you should expect some problems. The way around it is to use a LabelFormat so that Bacula labels the DVD automatically. However, I'm not convinced that what you are seeing is related to the problem Richard reported. I may be wrong but it seems like you have not really succeeded in wiping out the old filesystem, because Bacula still thinks it is there, or possibly Bacula still has the DVD mounted and so is retaining some information it should not. I suggest you try several things: 1. Try labeling the DVD with a different name. If it reports the same error, then it is clearly the bug that Richard saw. If this is the case, use the LabelFormat directive in bacula-dir.conf until we resolve the problem. 2. unmount the DVD in the console. 3. Try mounting it outside Bacula and see if it really has a filesystem on it. If the DVD is completely fresh, you should not be able to mount it. 4. Make sure that the Volume does not exist in Bacula's catalog. 5. Look at the DVD chapter in the manual -- it gives a few tips on how to reinitialize DVDs. However, given all the different types, I wouldn't be surprised if you had problems. In the next day or so, I'll try to look into the problem of manually labeling the DVD with Bacula. From what Richard wrote in his last email, we are *very* close to having DVD writing working correctly now. > > Kernel is 2.6.17 (stock debian kernel + patches for reiser4), growisofs > is 6.1.1 (Debian Source + Bacula Patches). It looks like you have all the right pieces to get it working. As a last resort, you might try it with a blank DVD.
