Thank you Josh, kern, for you replies. Yes Im using 1.38.11, and the "slot=" does not seems to work(although bacula doesn't complaint about it)
I think its logical why bacula doesnt load the tape: its because mount command is not associated to a pool(a job is!), so bacula doesnt know what tape to load. Am I right? By the way, how can I track down why the tapeloader/bacula-sd take so much time to respond? Is it normal?. Seems to me that it is waiting for something and he gets timeout. Im looking at the the debug info, and seems to me that bacula-sd is waiting for tapeloader to rewind the tape, but there is no tape on the drive. Just one other question: what is the meaning of "the device is BLOCKED"? Is it blocked because the device is waiting/reserved for a job? Once again, thanks you for your help Jaime Ventura [Infra-estruturas e Comunicações] Rua Dr. António Bernardino de Almeida, 431 4200 - 072 Porto Telef: +351 22 834 05 00 (04) - ext. 1641 Fax: +351 22 832 11 59 e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> url: www.isep.ipp.pt <http://www.isep.ipp.pt> Josh Fisher wrote: > Kern Sibbald wrote: > >> On Thursday 30 November 2006 16:20, Josh Fisher wrote: >> >> >>> I believe that is the expected behavior.
