Folks; not sure whether this is worth a question around, but I think of my autochanger configuration to be messed-up somehow. By now I tracked down things as far as having /etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer successfully (un)loading tapes while being called from a shell. However, while running btape, it seems that nothing happens:
backer:/etc/bacula# btape -c /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf /dev/nst0 Tape block granularity is 1024 bytes. btape: butil.c:272 Using device: "/dev/nst0" for writing. 23-Mar 09:44 btape: 3301 Issuing autochanger "loaded drive 0" command. 23-Mar 09:44 btape: 3302 Autochanger "loaded drive 0", result: nothing loaded. 23-Mar 09:44 btape: 3301 Issuing autochanger "loaded drive 0" command. 23-Mar 09:44 btape: 3302 Autochanger "loaded drive 0", result: nothing loaded. btape: btape.c:338 open device "LTO-2" (/dev/nst0): OK When checking the loader status using mtx after starting btape this way, I see the drive is empty. Is there anything else I am still missing right now? Environment: - bacula 1.38.11, Debian unstable, pretty plain configuration by now - Tandberg LTO-2 autoloader, 1 drive, no barcode reader - drive-configuration in bacula-sd.conf: Device { Name = LTO-2 # Media Type = LTO-2 Archive Device = /dev/nst0 AutomaticMount = Yes; # when device opened, read it AlwaysOpen = Yes; RemovableMedia = yes; RandomAccess = no; Changer Command = "/etc/bacula/scripts/mtx-changer %c %o %s %a %d" Changer Device = /dev/sg3 AutoChanger = Yes # # Enable the Alert command only if you have the mtx package loaded Alert Command = "sh -c 'tapeinfo -f %c |grep TapeAlert|cat'" } Thanks in advance for your patience and any hints, Kristian -- Dipl.-Ing.(BA) Kristian Rink * Software- und Systemingenieur planConnect GmbH * Strehlener Str. 12 - 14 * 01069 Dresden fon: 0351 4657770 * mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] * http://www.pm-planc.de ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
