That makes two of us. I 1. deleted some volumes and didn't run 'update slots', 2. got an 'intervention needed' e-mail a day or so later. I'm beginning to think I'd be better off with a simple pre-job script that checks the disk and re-points a symlink to the next disk in the set. Or something along those lines. I've another bacula setup that writes to a single filesystem. It's been running with about zero problems (knock on wood) and zero maintenance for years: auto-labelling works, volume recycling works, the only problems are spinning rust and lsi's ugly raid manglement software. It seems once you step out of the ein drive, ein tape sandbox you're in the "not intended for" use case and all bets are off. Which is only fine if you don't care about your backups. -- Dimitri Maziuk Programmer/sysadmin BioMagResBank, UW-Madison -- http://www.bmrb.wisc.edu
