Thank you for answering.

I'm using 2.0.3-4 on etch (I recompiled the lenny sources for etch on

I've made a couple of suggestions inline in the message but I documented
the procedure that I went though when finding the bugs in DVD writing.
You may find the instructions at
http://bridge.oldelvet.org.uk/bacula/BaculaDVDSetup.html
useful.
I already saw that and tested what was suggested. Very useful page
which should be mentioned in the manual. The DVD-access tests using
DVD-handler are successful but my problem is still there :-(.

Hello list,
I have spent much time trying to set up DVD-writing with Bacula, and
almost made it work... But I come to you for (hopefully) the last step
which I can't get working.
When running a backup job supposed to write on DVD, bacula-sd wait for
me to mount a volume: "Please mount Volume "BaculaDVD0001" on Storage
Device "DVD-Writer" (/dev/hdd) for Job
Full_Set_on_DVD.2007-07-16_14.51.42", it says. How should I do that? The
"mount" command from the console does not stop bacula for asking this.
Mounting the DVD from command-line is impossible as the DVD is blank
(has no FS). Shouldn't the mount happen automatically, as I asked for
automatic labelling?
You have to issue a mount command in bconsole to initiate the mount. If
there is blank media in there then it will autolabel.
I forgot to mention: I also have automount=yes. That's why I thought
the device should be auto-mounted.
I'd like to add that after asking in bconsole to mount the DVD drive, a
status command reports:
Device status:
Device "FileStorage" (/tmp) is not open.
Device "DVD-Writer" (/dev/hdd) is not open.
Device is BLOCKED waiting for media.
====
In Use Volume status:
BaculaDVD0004 on device "DVD-Writer" (/dev/hdd)
Thus apparently the volume is indeed mounted on the device, from the
volume point of view, but the drive is still waiting for media. Which
media is it waiting for, then? Should I issue a command to somehow
"open" the device?
You could try issuing a label command using BaculaDVD0001 as the volume
name.
I'm not sure I understand your suggestion. Won't Bacula be confused if
I ask him to "label" with an already-given label? The autolabelling
seems to work as Bacula says that the label succeeded (Bacula says:
"20-jui 12:24 Olivier-dir: Created new Volume "BaculaDVD0004" in
catalog.")...
I tried to run a job, then when Bacula asks me to mount the volume on
the device (after having labelled it automatically), I label again. Is
that what you suggest? Here is the result.
20-jui 12:26 Olivier-sd: Please mount Volume "BaculaDVD0004" on Storage

I just tried to run the job after disabling autolabel and automount in
the SD config file (and restarting daemons, and cancelling jobs, and
disabling all volumes in DVD pool) :

Indeed:
Olivier:~# ls -a /tmp/backup/
. ..
So my problem seems to be with the "labelling" process. Why should
there be a "BaculaDVD0005" file in /tmp/backup/ when I ask Bacula to
label my DVD?
Here below, the config and testing procedure details.
Thanks a lot for any hint. I am stuck there since a very long time and
already tried everything I could find in the mailing lists archive
regarding this problem.

==Config==
Bacula 2.0.3, installed using apt-get from Debian distribution "testing"
AKA "lenny". Also tried with Bacula 1.38.11 (from "stable"), same
behavior encountered (a bit worse, in fact, I can add details if
somebody is interrested).

Yes, and mounting /dev/hdd to /mnt/dvd on the linux command line works
(when the dvd is not blank naturally).

== Test procedure ==
Using a DVD+RW disk. I blank the drive, then check that it can't be mounted.
dd if=/dev/zero bs=1024 count=512 | growisofs -Z /dev/hdd=/dev/fd/0
Olivier:/etc/bacula# mount /dev/hdd /mnt/dvd
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
In the bacula console, after having restarted the three daemons, I check
that no jobs are running and I use "update" to disable the current
volume's status, if any (to start everything from scratch). Then I run
the DVD-backup job:
*run

== What works ==
(NB: /dev/cdrw is the same as /dev/dvd)
Writing to DVD using growisofs works:
growisofs -Z /dev/cdrw -R -J /etc => OK (mount then ls shows the /etc
directory contents)
Creating a "file1" random file, then writing it to DVD using dvd-handler
script works:
ls -l /tmp/file1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 82360320 2007-07-16 14:08 /tmp/file1
unmount DVD, blank it, then
/etc/bacula/scripts/dvd-handler /dev/cdrw write 1 /tmp/file1 => OK
(mount then ls and md5sum to check "file1" contents OK)
Doing a simple "file" backup with bacula console works. The backup is
indeed created in /tmp.
Thanks again for any help.
