I have just reverted my configuration. Director, in bacula-dir.conf: Storage { Name = babylon5-sd Address = babylon5.babcom.com SDPort = 9103 Password = "********************" Device = LTO-4 Media Type = LTO-4 Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20 Autochanger = no } Storage, in sd.conf: Device { Name = LTO-4 Media Type = LTO-4 Archive Device = /dev/nst0 Changer Device = /dev/sg5 AutomaticMount = yes # when device opened, read it AlwaysOpen = yes OfflineOnUnmount = yes RemovableMedia = yes RandomAccess = no Maximum File Size = 5GB Maximum Block Size = 2048000 Spool Directory = /var/tmp/bacula Maximum Spool Size = 10GB Maximum Job Spool Size = 5GB } I can read from and write to an already-mounted tape. I cannot unmount a tape except by stopping the sd and using mt. I cannot mount a tape except by having it loaded when the sd starts. This drive worked perfectly in 7.4.7 with this exact configuration. This is a HP StorageWorks 1760 SAS external LTO-4 drive connected to a LSI Logic SAS2008 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-2 (Falcon rev. 02) controller on a PC running Gentoo Linux and Linux kernel 4.11.6. -- Phil Stracchino Babylon Communications ph...@caerllewys.net p...@co.ordinate.org Landline: +1.603.293.8485 Mobile: +1.603.998.6958 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
