you do not have mount /dev/sa* at all to read/write data to it. it
looks like the drive is configured ok judging by the output from mt
bellow. I would suggest reading the man pages for mt as well as sa
to get a better understanding of how FreeBSD, and unix in general,
treat's block devices.
thanks Pete for the response. well then I dont understand what bconsole is
complaining about and how to make it happy. it appears to complaining that
/dev/sa0 is not mounted. I couldnt find an exatc cure in the bacula
documentation both in the PDF from the install and the online documentation.
this is most likely due to the fact that bacula has not mounted the
drive. this is different than when the operating system mounts a
device, altho I can see how the termonology can be misleading. typing
"mount" in bconsole should do the trick. it looks like from the
messages bellow, the user that you are running bconsole as does not have
permission to read/write to the /dev/sa0 device. you will probably want
to take care of this too ;)
