With the hard disks constantly available, I'm having a stable setup using the project-provided disk-changer script. Essentially, you define a virtual autochanger with a configured number of slots and drives. You should limit the volume size Bacula generates for those devices to ensure you don't run out of disk space. Current SD device status: Autochanger "File01" with devices: "File01a" (/baculadata1/filestorage01/drive0) "File01b" (/baculadata1/filestorage01/drive1) "File01c" (/baculadata1/filestorage01/drive2) "File01d" (/baculadata1/filestorage01/drive3) "File01e" (/baculadata1/filestorage01/drive4) Autochanger "File03" with devices: "File03a" (/baculadata2/filestorage03/drive0) "File03b" (/baculadata2/filestorage03/drive1) "File03c" (/baculadata2/filestorage03/drive2) "File03d" (/baculadata2/filestorage03/drive3) "File03e" (/baculadata2/filestorage03/drive4) and Device "File01a" (/baculadata1/filestorage01/drive0) is not open. Slot 543 is loaded in drive 0. Device "File01b" (/baculadata1/filestorage01/drive1) is not open. Slot 570 is loaded in drive 1. Device "File01c" (/baculadata1/filestorage01/drive2) is not open. Slot 471 is loaded in drive 2. Device "File01d" (/baculadata1/filestorage01/drive3) is not open. Slot 474 is loaded in drive 3. Device "File01e" (/baculadata1/filestorage01/drive4) is not open. Drive 4 status unknown. Device "File03a" (/baculadata2/filestorage03/drive0) is not open. Slot 363 is loaded in drive 0. Device "File03b" (/baculadata2/filestorage03/drive1) is not open. Slot 290 is loaded in drive 1. Device "File03c" (/baculadata2/filestorage03/drive2) is not open. Drive 2 status unknown. Device "File03d" (/baculadata2/filestorage03/drive3) is not open. Drive 3 status unknown. Device "File03e" (/baculadata2/filestorage03/drive4) is not open. Drive 4 status unknown. Lots of slots to manage, which makes using bconsole a bit hard, but there's always BAT :-) Cheers, Arno -- Arno Lehmann IT-Service Lehmann Sandstr. 6, 49080 Osnabrück www.its-lehmann.de ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
