Kern, I finally have a logged logic failure. I worked with the
mtx-changer script on logging, and I have a log that shows Bacula
trying to load a tape into a tape drive when that tape had already
been loaded into another drive, without an intervening unload.
The relevant snippets from the mtx-changer log are below. I
modified the mtx-changer script slightly to add the seconds count in
the retrying message so I could tell where the timeout occurred.
The following lines are from a single contiguous log. I have
interrupted it with my own lines at *** to note the error, and I
eliminated some of the many 'not ready' messages with ellipses to
improve readability. No lines have been deleted except the 'not
ready'.
I will be glad to make available both the Bacula log and the
mtx-changer log. Since I cannot seem to update into Mantis in a way
that you can read, I can mail them directly or put them on an ftp
site, as you wish, if you wish.
