Bacula 2.4.2 has been running generally well for me over a year now. I've
upgraded to 2.4.2 from 2 previous versions.
Lately I have been having multiple issues with Bacula losing track of tapes
in the autochanger, not being able to load tapes
that are in the changer, and just generally not working as advertised.
I haven't made any changes, so I kind of need to know whats going on?
Currently I have this issue:
18-Nov 06:33 mt-back4.storage JobId 16098: Please mount Volume "A00046" or
label a new one for:
Job: Oracle_Weekly_Tape.2008-11-16_22.00.49
Storage: "Ultrium-TD3" (/dev/rmt/0cbn)
Pool: Advisen_Tapes
Media type: LTO-3
Seems pretty normal. The director wants us to mount a new Volume. But
wait....
