Not as far as I know. Your point a) is something I stumbled over, too, but it was easily solved by removing the OfflineOnUnmount plus a simple operators directive. To make things easier, you could also create a simple shell script, for example called 'unload_tape' like #!/bin/bash echo 'umount STORAGE' | bconsole -c /etc/bacula/bconsole.conf /bin/mt -f /dev/nst0 eject ... or similar. Probably a crude work-around, but, well, it works around the problem :-) Arno > TIA > T. > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft > Defy all challenges.
