Hi Bill, I did find that script and used it as my inspiration. There were a few issues I had when running it however. Firstly, it doesn't recognise UUIDs in the format /mnt/vchanger/<uuid> which causes issues. The script I wrote was designed to be run via udev on a hot insert / remove of drives. This allows the script to run as soon as a disk is started. It also uses /dev/disk/by-uuid to match UUIDs found in the vchanger config. The other difference is that I set InChanger=(0|1) instead of disabling the volume. In theory, this will cause bacula to send a "Need intervention" email instead of failing (but I'm yet to try this). -- Steven Haigh Email: net...@crc.id.au Web: http://www.crc.id.au Phone: (03) 9001 6090 - 0412 935 897 Fax: (03) 8338 0299
