I've run into a volume mount problem on an installation newly upgraded
to 5.0.1.
I just got four brand new LTO2 tapes for Full backups. However, when my
Full backups started last night, Bacula decided it wanted my last
appendable LTO1 tape instead, and asked me to mount it or label a new tape.
05-Apr 06:31 babylon5-sd JobId 1671: Please mount Volume "ARCH-0008" or
label a new one for:
Job: Babylon5_Backup.2010-04-05_03.30.00_29
Storage: "Ultrium-LTO2" (/dev/nst0)
Pool: Full-Tape
Media type: LTO2
So, I've labelled one of the new LTO2 tapes. Which Bacula will mount;
then it sits there for a couple of minutes; then it spits it back out
and demands ARCH-0008 again. I prelabelled and mounted this new tape
last night before the backups started, and since 0330 Bacula has been
refusing the new tape and demanding ARCH-0008, or it's going to sit in
the corner and hold its breath until it turns blue in the face.
The Pool definition looks like this:
Pool {
Name = Full-Tape
Storage = babylon5-sd
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
Autoprune = yes
Volume Retention = 365d
Recycle Oldest Volume = yes
Recycle Current Volume = yes
Label Format = "ARCH-"
Maximum Volumes = 13
}
So, seeking to force the issue, I marked ARCH-0008 as USED, and
remounted the newly-labelled ARCH-0010 again. So Bacula recycled
ARCH-0009 and is now demanding that instead. It WILL NOT accept the
newly-labeled tape.
Am I missing some configuration detail needed for Bacula 5?
(Yes, I did update the Pool from the resource since increasing the
volume count.)
