I have searched through the mailing list archive but can not find the answer in the hundreds which relate to disk spooling.
I have four linux machines setup as follows: fd host1 version 2.0.3 (gentoo) fd host2 version 2.2.4 (packman on debian) dir host3 2.2.4 (packman on debian) sd host4 2.0.3 (gentoo) I have spooling working, and can see the spool file increasing. under Job, I have Spool Data = yes Spool Attributes = yes Under Client (fd) and Storage (sd) I have Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20 on the sd I have Storage { # definition of myself Name = xyz-sd SDPort = 9103 # Director's port WorkingDirectory = "/var/lib/bacula" Pid Directory = "/var/run" Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20 } Device { Name = DLT-V4 Media Type = DLT-V4 Archive Device = /dev/nst0 AutomaticMount = yes AlwaysOpen = yes AutoChanger = yes SpoolDirectory=/var/data/amanda/bacula/spool Maximum Network Buffer Size = 65536 } # # An autochanger device with two drives # Autochanger { Name = Autochanger Device = DLT-V4 Changer Command = "/usr/libexec/bacula/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d" Changer Device = /dev/sg1 } When I run two jobs at the same time which want to write to two different tapes, the second one fails immediately rather than both spooling and the first one to finish de-spooling to tape, this is clear from the following error message: 03-Oct 07:00 abc-dir: Start Backup JobId 58, Job=def-backup.2007-10-03_07.00.00 03-Oct 07:00 abc-dir: Using Device "DLT-V4" 03-Oct 07:00 xyz-fd: ClientRunBeforeJob: run command "/etc/bacula/waitforntbackup" 03-Oct 11:09 backupserver-sd: def-backup.2007-10-03_07.00.00 Fatal error: acquire.c:355 Wanted to append to Volume "CNI910", but device "DLT-V4" (/dev/nst0) is busy writing on "CNI911" . 03-Oct 11:09 xyz-fd: def-backup.2007-10-03_07.00.00 Fatal error: job.c:1758 Bad response to Append Data command. Wanted 3000 OK data , got 3903 Error append data What have I set wrong in order to get them to spool at the same time?
