Hello,
I'm trying to understand what condition would cause bacula to not find
any appendable volumes, or recycle any tapes.
*ver
orlbacula-dir Version: 2.4.2 (26 July 2008) i686-redhat-linux-gnu redhat
I'm getting this error:
23-Apr 07:30 orlbacula-sd JobId 14636: Job
ons-nids-daily.2010-04-22_21.05.30 waiting. Cannot find any appendable
volumes.
Please use the "label" command to create a new Volume for:
Storage: "Drive-0" (/dev/nst0)
Pool: Weekly
Media type: ULTRIUM-LTO-4
I've have these tapes in the pool.
Pool: Weekly

With a retention period of 14 days, I was expecting the volumes 000052,
000015, 000049, 000045, 000062, 000063, 000048, and 000065 to be usable.
Here are the config file relevant portions:
#bacula-sd.conf
Autochanger {
Name = Autochanger
Device = Drive-0, Drive-1
Changer Command = "/usr/lib/bacula/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
Changer Device = /dev/sg4
}
Device {
Name = Drive-0
Drive Index = 0
Media Type = ULTRIUM-LTO-4
Archive Device = /dev/nst0
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
AutoChanger = yes
Check Labels = yes
LabelMedia = yes
Label Type = ANSI
Alert Command = "sh -c 'smartctl -H -l error %c'"
}
Device {
Name = Drive-1
Drive Index = 1
Media Type = ULTRIUM-LTO-4
Archive Device = /dev/nst1
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
AutoChanger = yes
Check Labels = yes
LabelMedia = yes
Label Type = ANSI
Alert Command = "sh -c 'smartctl -H -l error %c'"
}
# bacula-dir.conf
JobDefs {
Name = "Weekly"

Level = Full
Client = orlbacula-fd
FileSet = "Full Set"
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 2
#Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 4
Schedule = "Weekly"
Storage = tape
Messages = Standard
Pool = Weekly
Priority = 10
Max Start Delay = 23h
Prefer Mounted Volumes = no
}
Storage {
Name = tape
Address = gideon.wycliffe.org
SDPort = 9103
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 4
Password = "password"
Device = Autochanger
Media Type = ULTRIUM-LTO-4
Autochanger = yes
}
Pool {

Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 14 days
}
Thanks!
