Hey We have a few clients where we use bacula to make a backup to a remote cifs share (usually a windows fileserver). This is implemented as a File Storage device in the sd, with a "requires mount = yes" and the necessary mount commands etc.
Now this has never been an issue until last week when a client had DNS problems, the share wasn't accessible, and bacula decided to just fill the local disk. I had always been under the impression that a failure to mount would cause the job to fail? (and it has in some tests a few months ago if I recall correctly) It is probably worth mentioning though that in an effort to resolve some early permissions problems I gave bacula permissions on the mountpoint itself (/mnt/bacula). Could this be the reason bacula just decided to use the local disk because it *could*, even though the mount clearly failed with an error.
