Kind of.... The wedged jobs are effectively causing the same thine.

Ah........
You need to add a RunBeforeJob which will exit with an error if ngorongoro
is not online. Ther ewas some discussion on this in the past relating to
laptops and there may already be a script for it somewhere.

Possibly, but more importantly these jobs should never had shown as
finished on the Director status until the Storage daemon said they were
finished - the fact that they're wedged means that the BackupCatalog job
should never have started in the first place....

mount - but given what you've already described it won't fix things. You
need to cancel these wedged jobs - if they don't exit off the storage
daemon you will need to restart it
