I have a machine that has two DLT drives. While I can define a job to run on either tape drive, I can not at run time alter an existing job to run on the other tape drive. If I do try to alter the storage location of a job (with the "mod" option of the "run" command), my request to use a different storage device is ignored.
Both drives have a mounted tape from the default pool "status storage=Molerat-0" gives: Device status: Device "DLT-0" (/dev/st0) is mounted with Volume="DLT120" Pool="Default" Total Bytes Read=0 Blocks Read=0 Bytes/block=0 Positioned at File=9 Block=0 Device "DLT-1" (/dev/st1) is mounted with Volume="DLT121" Pool="Default" Total Bytes=504,612,864 Blocks=7,821 Bytes/block=64,520 Positioned at File=1 Block=0 If I run a predefined job and don't override the storage location each job runs on the proper tape drive... This works and puts the job on the first drive: Run Backup job JobName: Molerat Level: Full Client: molerat-fd FileSet: LinuxFull Pool: Default (From Job resource) Storage: Molerat-0 (From Job resource) This works and puts the job on the second drive: Run Backup job JobName: Molerat-test Level: Full Client: molerat-fd FileSet: LinuxFull Pool: Default (From Job resource) Storage: Molerat-1 (From Job resource) This is a request to put the job on the second drive, but the first drive is used: Run Backup job JobName: Molerat Level: Full Client: molerat-fd FileSet: LinuxFull Pool: Default (From Job resource) Storage: Molerat-1 (From user selection) As you can see from the following (I canceled the job), the job went to the first drive (and the first tape "DLT120") 17-Apr 12:53 molerat-sd: Job marked to be canceled. 17-Apr 12:54 molerat-dir: Bacula 2.0.2 (28Jan07): 17-Apr-2007 12:54:01 JobId: 305 Job: Molerat.2007-04-17_12.50.21 Backup Level: Full Client: "molerat-fd" 2.0.2 (28Jan07) i686-pc-linux-gnu,debian,testing/unstable FileSet: "LinuxFull" 2007-02-28 23:05:00 Pool: "Default" (From Job resource) Storage: "Molerat-1" (From user selection) Scheduled time: 17-Apr-2007 12:50:04 Start time: 17-Apr-2007 12:50:24 End time: 17-Apr-2007 12:54:01 Elapsed time: 3 mins 37 secs Priority: 10 FD Files Written: 12 SD Files Written: 12 FD Bytes Written: 951,798,291 (951.7 MB) SD Bytes Written: 951,799,607 (951.7 MB) Rate: 4386.2 KB/s Software Compression: None VSS: no Encryption: no Volume name(s): DLT120 Volume Session Id: 152 Volume Session Time: 1175131826 Last Volume Bytes: 3,397,847,040 (3.397 GB) Non-fatal FD errors: 0 SD Errors: 0 FD termination status: Canceled SD termination status: Error Termination: Backup Canceled This feels like a bug. Any suggestions?
