do you mean the MTX scripts? they are root:root 755, and as far as i know bacula should be able to access them (on another systems they are identical owner:permissions, and this system works fine with its tape drive).
in debug mode, i get this: bacula-sd: askdir.c:182-76 <dird 1000 OK VolName=SK1028L1 VolJobs=0 VolFiles=0 VolBlocks=0 VolBytes=64512 VolMounts=0 VolErrors=0 VolWrites=0 MaxVolBytes=0 VolCapacityBytes=0 VolStatus=Append Slot=7 MaxVolJobs=0 MaxVolFiles=0 InChanger=1 VolReadTime=0 VolWriteTime=0 EndFile=0 EndBlock=0 VolParts=0 LabelType=0 MediaId=9 bacula-sd: askdir.c:205-76 do_reqest_vol_info return true slot=7 Volume=SK1028L1 bacula-sd: reserve.c:445-76 vol=SK1028L1 OK for this job bacula-sd: reserve.c:455-76 vol=SK1028L1 is in changer bacula-sd: reserve.c:390-76 Found changer device PV124TDrive0 bacula-sd: reserve.c:468-76 try vol=SK1028L1 on device=PV-124T bacula-sd: reserve.c:615-76 chk MediaType device=LTO-3 request=LTO-3 bacula-sd: reserve.c:638-76 try reserve PV124TDrive0 bacula-sd: reserve.c:655-76 call reserve for append: have_vol=1 vol=SK1028L1 bacula-sd: reserve.c:831-76 3603 JobId=76 device "PV124TDrive0" (/dev/nst0) is busy reading. bacula-sd: reserve.c:747-76 Not OK. bacula-sd: reserve.c:475-76 Suitable device=PV-124T, busy: not use bacula-sd: reserve.c:492-76 lock volumes bacula-sd: vol_mgr.c:659-76 free vol_list Volume=SK1028L1 dev="PV124TDrive0" (/dev/nst0) bacula-sd: vol_mgr.c:803-76 deleted temp vol list bacula-sd: vol_mgr.c:804-76 unlock volumes bacula-sd: vol_mgr.c:211-76 List after free temp table: SK1028L1 in_use=0 on device "PV124TDrive0" (/dev/nst0) bacula-sd: reserve.c:544-76 search res for PV-124T bacula-sd: reserve.c:547-76 Try match changer res=PV-124T bacula-sd: reserve.c:552-76 Try changer device PV124TDrive0 bacula-sd: reserve.c:615-76 chk MediaType device=LTO-3 request=LTO-3 bacula-sd: reserve.c:638-76 try reserve PV124TDrive0 bacula-sd: reserve.c:655-76 call reserve for append: have_vol=0 vol= bacula-sd: reserve.c:831-76 3603 JobId=76 device "PV124TDrive0" (/dev/nst0) is busy reading. bacula-sd: reserve.c:747-76 Not OK. bacula-sd: reserve.c:578-76 Try match res=FileStorage bacula-sd: reserve.c:578-76 Try match res=PV124TDrive0 bacula-sd: reserve.c:520-76 No usable device found. bacula-sd: reserve.c:530-76 Leave find_suit_dev: no dev found. here is my device config: Autochanger { Name = PV-124T Device = PV124TDrive0 Changer Command = "/usr/libexec/bacula/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d" Changer Device = /dev/sg8 } Device { Name = PV124TDrive0 Drive Index = 0 Media Type = LTO-3 Archive Device = /dev/nst0 Changer Command = "/usr/libexec/bacula/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d" Changer Device = /dev/sg8 Autochanger = yes AutomaticMount = yes; AlwaysOpen = yes; RemovableMedia = yes RandomAccess = no LabelMedia = no RequiresMount = yes # Enable the Alert command only if you have the mtx package loaded # If you have smartctl, enable this, it has more info than tapeinfo Alert Command = "sh -c 'smartctl -H -l error %c'" } [jhorne@d0lphb040 ~]$ lsscsi -g [0:0:8:0] enclosu DP BACKPLANE 1.00 - /dev/sg0 [0:2:0:0] disk DELL PERC 5/i 1.03 /dev/sda /dev/sg1 [0:2:1:0] disk DELL PERC 5/i 1.03 /dev/sdb /dev/sg2 [1:0:16:0] enclosu DELL MD1200 1.01 - /dev/sg3 [1:2:0:0] disk DELL PERC H800 2.10 /dev/sdc /dev/sg4 [2:0:0:0] cd/dvd HL-DT-ST CD-ROM GCR-8240N 1.10 /dev/sr0 /dev/sg5 [4:0:0:0] disk Hitachi HDS724040ALE640 MJAO /dev/sdd /dev/sg6 [5:0:6:0] tape IBM ULTRIUM-TD3 93GM /dev/st0 /dev/sg7 [5:0:6:1] mediumx DELL PV-124T 0090 /dev/sch0 /dev/sg8 this is boggling. my first attempt at getting a tape library working, i followed all the steps on dan langille's website until the PV4000 woke up an wrote data. after following all those same tests and even to the point that all tests pass correctly, bacula still refuses to write. I'm sure there is something i am overlooking, and its just a matter of time until i put my finger on it :) thanks, jonathan On 2/8/13 2:32 AM, "lst_ho...@kwsoft.de" <lst_ho...@kwsoft.de> wrote: > >Zitat von Jonathan Horne <jho...@skopos.us>: > >> as title says, i have a PV-124T that works with btape like a champ, >> but not within bacula for running jobs. when i submit a job to run >> to tape, the jobs just sit there. >> >> i have identical job configuration on another server with a larger >> power vault tape drive, and its runing like a top. when you submit a >> tape job, it quickly changes to "running" state. >> >> if i can work with btape but not with jobs, here can i start the >> troubleshooting? >> >> any advice greatly appreciated, >> jonathan > >Hello > >check the permissions for the changer scripts and the changer/tape >devices.
