I can not make SD's "Unmount Command" work. "Mount Command" works fine instead.
I have an external USB disk, that is used thru this storage: Device { Name = USB-Disk-A Device Type = File Media Type = USB-Disk-A Archive Device = /mnt/backup-a LabelMedia = yes; Random Access = yes; AutomaticMount = yes; RemovableMedia = yes; AlwaysOpen = no; Requires Mount = yes Mount Point = /mnt/backup-a Mount Command = "/bin/mount %m" Unmount Command = "sleep 5;/bin/umount -l %m" } The "Unmount Command" I currently have (sleep 5;/bin/umount -l %m) is quite a monster, but I've started with simple "/bin/umount %m" that didn't work either. The 5-second sleep was added to allow caches flush first (just a try), and -l (lazy) option (another try) should also help if there still is some disk traffic alive. Before running a job, the disk is not mounted: [r...@garfield bacula]# mount .... (/dev/sdb1 not mentioned here) [r...@garfield bacula]# Now I run a backup job using storage "USB-Disk-A", and then: [r...@garfield bacula]# mount .... /dev/sdb1 on /mnt/backup-a type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=bacula) [r...@garfield bacula]# So, the disk was not unmounted. Could someone advice what am I doing wrong? I already asked this a few weeks ago, with no reply then. At that time I was running Bacula 2.4.4, and I decided to upgrade before renewing the question, the upgrade didn't affect to this problem. Now I have this setup: Bacula 3.0.1, on CentOS 5.3 x86_64, with MySQL database. Some snapshots from the system: /etc/fstab has this line: /dev/backup-a1 /mnt/backup-a ext3 rw,noauto,owner 0 0 this is the actual drive: [r...@garfield bacula]# ll /dev/sdb* brw-r----- 1 bacula disk 8, 16 May 24 15:24 /dev/sdb brw-r----- 1 bacula disk 8, 17 May 24 15:24 /dev/sdb1 these links are made by udev to have the names stable: [r...@garfield bacula]# ll /dev/b* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 May 24 15:24 /dev/backup-a -> sdb lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 May 24 15:24 /dev/backup-a1 -> sdb1 -- TiN ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.
