Hello, This is a bug that I have now fixed, and as Martin and Ana pointed out it can be worked around by adding slot=0 to the mount/unmount/release command line. Best regards, Kern On 08/01/2017 10:01 PM, Phil Stracchino

If there is I would suggest that you carefully document it in a way that I can "see" the problem and easily reproduce it so that I can fix it. mtx-changer will *not* work unless you have an autochanger. There is no fake autochanger for tapes. There are two types of "fake" autochangers for Disks. The first one is something like mhvtl that is a program that simulates in detail and autochanger. The second is the Bacula virtual disk autochanger. If you have a real stand-alone tape drive, I personally know of no way to make it work with mtx, and if Bacula does not work with it, I will be happy to work on fixing it, but only if it is clearly documented in a detailed but very concise way.I think Phil refers to this is script <http://bacula.us/manual-tape-drive-automation/>. I documented it many years ago. This is the original thread <http://bacula.10910.n7.nabble.com/automount-with-single-non-autoloader-drive-td28536.html>. I'm not sure who was the original poster. I will try to find it now.This looks like an automation-for-convenience issue. The problem I found was that I could neither mount nor unmount tapes AT ALL while the SD was running. The only way I could unmount a tape was to stop the SD and use mt. The only way I could mount one was to have it already loaded in the drive before starting the SD. Needless to say, this makes jobs that span multiple tapes impossible. |
