Hi,

I'm running bacula "Version: 9.6.5 (11 June 2020)" on a gentoo linux
system installed by gentoo's package manager. This is what gentoo has as
latest stable version. Although 9.6.6 would be available in testing branch.

I'm struggling to make bacula-sd to mount an nfs drive. The device
configuration is as follows but it never mounts the nfs drive, although
unmount is working fine:

Device {
  Name = FileChgr1-Dev1
  Media Type = File1
  Archive Device = /mnt/backupmount/bacula
  LabelMedia = yes;
  Random Access = yes;
  AutomaticMount = yes;
  RemovableMedia = yes;
  AlwaysOpen = no;
  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 1
  Requires Mount = yes;
  Mount Point = /mnt/backupmount
  Mount Command = "/bin/mount -t nfs -o rsize=32768,wsize=32768
DISKSTATION:/volume1/LinuxBackup %m"
  Unmount Command = "/bin/umount %m"
}

I always get errors like this in the console:
----
21-May 18:41 localhost-dir JobId 4: Start Backup JobId 4,
Job=BackupClient1.2021-05-21_18.41.20_13
21-May 18:41 localhost-sd JobId 4: Error: init_dev.c:122 [SE0001] Unable
to stat device FileChgr1-Dev1 at /mnt/backupmount/bacula: ERR=No such
file or directory
21-May 18:41 localhost-sd JobId 4: Warning:
     Device "FileChgr1-Dev1" in changer "FileChgr1" requested by DIR
could not be opened or does not exist
----
And then the last 2 lines repeat over and over until the job fails.

When I mount the nfs share manually (with copy & paste values taken from
bacula-sd config) it works perfectly and then backup starts writing it's
data and finishes just fine and as I wrote above it even properly
umounts the nfs share once job is complete.

I also tried enclosing "Mount Point" in quotes but without success. The
problem with this is also that I cannot find out if the mount command
fails with some error or is completely ignored as you can see in the
console output it just says start backup and then immediately starts
failing but I don't see any messag abount mounting or so.

I'm really out of ideas and what to try to make it work. I think it
would be useful to get more data from bacula-sd on what it's doing (if
it's trying to mount at all or not and if so what error it encounters)
but I couldn't find out how to do that.

Cheers,

Marc
