I took a look at the changes between 2.2.0 and 2.2.6 and I suspect that
the issue is caused by a changed to the close() function in dev.c. The
new code clears the ST_FREESPACE_OK and ST_PART_SPOOLED flags. DVD
support is different to tape/disk in that after a close it needs to
remember those flags.
I've attached a patch that stops ST_FREESPACE_OK and ST_PART_SPOOLED
flags being cleared. I haven't tested it (sorry I don't have time right
now) but if someone is able to test and update the status of
http://bugs.bacula.org/view.php?id=1016
that would be good. Disclaimer I don't know why Kern made the change to
clear the flags so this may cause another problem to resurface. YMMV.
Regards
Richard
