I've got bacula currently in a hung state with the following interesting info. When I run a status storage produces the following...

Drive 2 status unknown. ==== Used Volume status: [nothing further and the bconsole program hangs here] Note that the last Writing line has no volume listed. The odd thing is that there actually is a tape in IBMLTO2-1. There's no tape in drive IBMLTO2-3. The pool apparently needs another appendable volume and there are several available in the Scratch pool but bacula is stuck. I tried to mount a volume into the empty drive and got back the following... *mount slot=61 drive=2 Automatically selected Storage: Dell-PV136T 3001 Device "IBMLTO2-3" (/dev/nst2) is doing acquire. Does anybody have any idea what to do to further troubleshoot this? I have had some other instances of bacula getting hung up and so I have already previously applied the 2.4.3-orphaned-jobs.patch Bob ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
