Hello, Reading the docs and experimenting has gotten me pretty far. I'm not having any problem backing up smallish jobs with spooling to disk and despooling to an LTO-4 drive in an overland arcvault12. But while backing up a 3TB RAID array, the first tape filled, and bacula is asking me to mount the next volume.
1) I was hoping that the next volume would be mounted w/o intervention at the console. 2) umount; mount, fails. How I got here: After lots initial testing, I dropped all the catalog tables and recreated them. Then on the command line I rewound every tape and 'mt weof' on each one. Then I used "label barcodes" which seemed to work, as "list media" cave me 11 volumes labeled with what looked like tape bar codes (one slot in the library is reserved). So, how can I achieve 1) and what's going on with 2)? The system is FreeBSD 7.0 and library is an Overland ArcVault12 with a SCSI HP LTO-4 drive. Bacula version is 3.0.2 and the and it was an _in_situ_ freebsd port build on the machine that is running -dir and -sd Here is some console output: === *list media Pool: Default +---------+------------+-----------+---------+-------------------+----------+--------------+---------+------+-----------+-----------+---------------------+ | MediaId | VolumeName | VolStatus | Enabled | VolBytes | VolFiles | VolRetention | Recycle | Slot | InChanger | MediaType | LastWritten | +---------+------------+-----------+---------+-------------------+----------+--------------+---------+------+-----------+-----------+---------------------+ | 1 | AHK836L4 | Append | 1 | 64,512 | 0 | 94,608,000 | 1 | 1 | 1 | LTO-4 | 0000-00-00 00:00:00 | | 3 | AHK837L4 | Append | 1 | 64,512 | 0 | 94,608,000 | 1 | 2 | 1 | LTO-4 | 0000-00-00 00:00:00 | | 4 | AHK829L4 | Append | 1 | 64,512 | 0 | 94,608,000 | 1 | 3 | 1 | LTO-4 | 0000-00-00 00:00:00 | | 5 | AHK834L4 | Append | 1 | 64,512 | 0 | 94,608,000 | 1 | 4 | 1 | LTO-4 | 0000-00-00 00:00:00 | | 6 | AHK838L4 | Append | 1 | 64,512 | 0 | 94,608,000 | 1 | 5 | 1 | LTO-4 | 0000-00-00 00:00:00 | | 7 | AHK839L4 | Append | 1 | 64,512 | 0 | 94,608,000 | 1 | 6 | 1 | LTO-4 | 0000-00-00 00:00:00 | | 8 | AHK825L4 | Append | 1 | 64,512 | 0 | 94,608,000 | 1 | 7 | 1 | LTO-4 | 0000-00-00 00:00:00 | | 9 | AHK835L4 | Append | 1 | 64,512 | 0 | 94,608,000 | 1 | 8 | 1 | LTO-4 | 0000-00-00 00:00:00 | | 10 | AHK828L4 | Append | 1 | 64,512 | 0 | 94,608,000 | 1 | 9 | 1 | LTO-4 | 0000-00-00 00:00:00 | | 11 | AHK826L4 | Append | 1 | 64,512 | 0 | 94,608,000 | 1 | 10 | 1 | LTO-4 | 0000-00-00 00:00:00 | | 12 | AHK827L4 | Full | 1 | 1,609,153,523,712 | 325 | 94,608,000 | 1 | 11 | 1 | LTO-4 | 2009-10-07 07:03:50 | +---------+------------+-----------+---------+-------------------+----------+--------------+---------+------+-----------+-----------+---------------------+ Pool: Stage No results to list.
