Hello,

 

I wander if anyone could help – I’ve got a problem with Bacula. We’ve been using Bacula for about three months or so now, with varying degrees of success. Recently, I’ve simplified our configuration and have been having no problems at all with our backups, until now.

 

Bacula runs successfully, recognizes that a valid tape from the correct pool is available in the Autoloader, loads the tape, runs the scripts, does the backup, but then won’t “release” the Drive. It appears that the drive locks up, and when I stop the bacula-sd daemon I can’t control the drive (Linux tells me that it’s not found in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab. So, I basically have to re-boot the server to get SCSI to realize it’s there again.

 

This is annoying! But, I can’t work out why it would have changed. I’ve not altered the configuration for ages… I though originally it was because the backup size had got very close (if not exceeded) the size of the tape, but after moving some files around it’s not well below the tape size (Tape=200GB, file=180GB).

 

We’re Redhat ES8 with a Quantum Superloader 3.

 

Can anyone point me towards a solution/answer to this? I’d be grateful if you could!

 

Regards,

 

Rupert Finnigan
