Hi again, my apologies for posting this with the incorrect subject line. After a lot of research, I found that the "No volumes found to label" error was caused by an error in the group configuration for the user which bacula-sd runs as. I have been following the fantastic instructions at http://ww

Hi, actually vchanger just expects the storage to be mounted to the same path every time you change disks (magazins) - so actually this should just work. Just point to /volumeUSB1/usbshare in your vchanger config. Kind regards Julian -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: MaxxAtWork [mailto:m

You don't have 'Autochanger = yes' in the device records for d1, d2, and d3. That howto (and script) are outdated and need to be edited. The vchanger project page is at http://sourceforge.net/projects/vchanger/, and there is a much more recent howto there. Scott Courtney wrote: > Greetings, all
