I have noticed the last couple of times I have had to move tapes from our
library that Bacula does not recover well.
Unexpected behavior
After tape library modifications, label, and catalog additions, when the next
tape job runs, the media is loaded but hangs in acquiring with zero bytes, the
job runs indefinitely until stopped. Behavior continues until bacula-sd
service is restarted.
Expected behavior
After tape library modifications, label, and catalog additions, next job runs
normally as expected.
Steps to reproduce:
1. From bconsole issue an unmount command
2. Using your tape library, execute a magazine unlock
3. Using your tape library Remove old tapes, add new tapes
4. Using your tape library Replace magazine, issue an inventory
5. From bconsole issue a mount command
6. Next issue a label barcodes command
7. Finally verify slots are updated by issuing a status slots command
Status during the issue:
