This looks similar to a problem I encountered. There's some locking problem in the SD which can be triggered when you have many jobs running simultaneously. I usually encountered it when Jobs were waiting for volumes from another pool. The only workaround possible is to make sure you have the necessary volumes available before the jobs start (which can be hard or impossible, depending on your autochanger capacity and the amount of data to store). After the usual sequence of unmounting, changing tapes, 'update slots' and mounting I saw what you describe - unknown system jobs blocking the device. > ...how can I correct this problem? Upgrade to - at least - 1.39.30something, I believe. Kern included a fix for this problem, and I did not encounter it afterwards. Off course, today you should upgrade to 2.0. There is no possibility to unblock the SD that I know - I always had to restart the SD, restart the affected jobs, and thus do things manually that should be automatic. > If a device is blocked due to user > unmount, I can never remount it after jobs have begun to run it appears. > I'm using spooling if this matters. Please help -- this one's killing me. :) Well, then the upgrade process is definitely preferable :-) Arno > Thanks in advance, > - -- > - ---- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ > |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | | Ryan Novosielski - Systems Programmer III > |$&| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| | [EMAIL PROTECTED] - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) > \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent.| IST/AST - NJMS Medical Science Bldg - C630 > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (MingW32) > Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org > > iD8DBQFFn0TQmb+gadEcsb4RAng3AJ9NTXG46hD2LwR0y5Nd4PLJGUHJuACfQrPd > goIlq1Gbl3iCFR9SWtsG8ws= > =oJCx > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Take Surveys.
