Hello all,
I can’t get bacula to autoload tapes in the autochanger. I’ve read through a
few months of the
archives, but I can’t sort out my issue from the previous issues that have been
reported. BTW, I just started this job
and am trying to pick up where the previous admin left off. I’ve been able to
get through about 5 tapes
of full backup by manually loading and mounting the tapes. That is, the jobs
are working fine, but the
jobs are much bigger than the tapes… and bacula won’t change the tapes itself.
Bacula: 1.38.5 (run as root)
RHEL4
We have a
11 slot LTO3 changer with no barcodes on the tapes.
I’ve
manually labeled all of the tapes in bconsole (via mtx /dev/sg8 load 1, then
label.)
My
changer.volumes

7:F06T12
8:F06T13

10:F06T15
11:F06T16

I think we have a stock mtx-changer:

Any
