Hi, I have a running job that waits for a tape. The last tape was auto-ejected due to an exceeded Volume Use Duration. I inserted another used tape and the backup job didn't continue/start and I get the following message, when I issue a "status storage":
Device status: Device "FileStorage" (V:\BaculaTmp) is not open. Device "Quantum" (Tape0) open but no Bacula volume is currently mounted. Device is being initialized. Total Bytes Read=0 Blocks Read=0 Bytes/block=0 Positioned at File=0 Block=0 ==== In Use Volume status: FirstTape on device "Quantum" (Tape0) ==== After a few minutes the tape is ejected and I get this message: Device status: Device "FileStorage" (V:\BaculaTmp) is not open. Device "Quantum" (Tape0) open but no Bacula volume is currently mounted. Device is BLOCKED waiting for mount of volume "FirstTape". Total Bytes Read=0 Blocks Read=0 Bytes/block=0 Positioned at File=0 Block=0 ==== In Use Volume status: FirstTape on device "Quantum" (Tape0) ==== What is wrong here and how can I convince Bacula to use that tape? The tape that I inserted is the first tape of five and it's now the first time it is re-used (overwritten). The VolStatus of this tape is "Append".
