This may sound like a stupid question, but everything I've found relating to
this error referrs to problems with tape changers and our system is entirely
disk based. We've got two debian servers running bacula 2.44 and 3.02 (yes,
they're old, the 2.44 one is getting upgraded very soon)
anyway, I often get this error,
Bacula: Intervention needed for Backup_newserver.2010-09-07_00.35.00.48
07-Sep 07:35 bacula-sd JobId 80852: Job Backup_newserver.2010-09-07_00.35.00.48
waiting. Cannot find any appendable volumes.
Please use the "label" command to create a new Volume for:
Storage: "newserverFileStorage" (/d4/bacula/mailservers/newserver)
Pool: newserver
Media type: File
Now it's easy enough to fix, I go into the directory, see that the most recent
file is
newserver-day-0777
i run these commands
bconsole
label
(select the newserver from the pool)
(enter new label) newserver-day-0778
(select the newserver from the pool)
Job done.
Now when I saw this previously, I thought it was because we had run out of disk
space or because we had previously deleted old volumes from the pools. We
recently added a diska rray onto each of the servers and have created fresh
pools so that's not the case now.
Everything ran fine for the first couple of months after I added the new arrays
but now I'm seeing this error crop up more and more often. If I run the
commands above, the backup runs fine but frequently I see the same error pop up
for the same servers the next day.
Each server runs about 100 backups over a 12 hour period, most run fine but
we're getting more of these errors, can anyone give any clues as to why this is
happening?
