Hi guys,
I believe I might have found a bug in Bacula 3.0.1.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Start with a fresh Bacula setup
2. Create a pool 'poola'
3. Create a job using poola
3. Add a few tapes using the bconsole command 'add pool=poola storage=Tape'
Then answering 0, then volumename '000018L4' to match the barcode.
4. Run 'update slots' to update the slot possitions in Baculas db.
5. I make sure the Recycle flag is set and change the VolStatus to Purged
Some of these tapes have been used before, so a Append status would see a
label with informatin not corresponding to the current db and mark the
volume as Error.
6. I start the job which uses poola.
At this point Bacula will load the barcode labled media from the correct
slot but when the tape has been loaded Bacula refuses to mount the media.
Using bconsole and typing mount just results in the same message over and
over again:
*mount
Automatically selected Storage: Tape
3001 OK mount. Device="Tape" (/dev/nst0)
You have messages.
*m
02-Jul 08:20 storagedaemon-name-sd JobId 9: Please mount Volume "000018L4"
or label a new one for:
Job: ajob.2009-07-02_08.14.57_56
Storage: "Tape" (/dev/nst0)
Pool: poola
Media type: Tape
Now at this point I have found a way to get around the problem.
1. Type delete, select volume, select poola and select tape '000018L4'
2. Type label, enter '000018L4' as the volume name and select poola as the
pool
After the tape has been labeled and mounted suddenly everything works. Now
after having labeled one tape running jobs in any pool works fine. Now it
will automatically write labels to other tapes and automatically mount
them.
The Device section in bacula-sd.conf looks like:
Device {
Name = Tape
Drive Index = 0
Media Type = Tape
Archive Device = /dev/nst0
Label Media = yes
AutomaticMount = yes
AlwaysOpen = yes
RemovableMedia = yes
RandomAccess = no
AutoChanger = yes
Spool Directory = /spooling/
}
So it is set to auto mount and auto label.
Is this a bug or have I misunderstood something?
Cheers,
Alex
