Run 'update slots' after 'delete volume'. My impression is "cartridges" in "magazines" are completely disconnected from "volumes" in the media catalog; every time you touch one you have to manually fix the other. > That is related to the 'update slots' not being issued when a change > occurred.

It is, however, quite inconvenient when a backup fails because you removed a full non-recyclable tape cartridge from a completely different magazine. Which is what happened here. I've used legato and tivoli and yes, you have to run inventory on the silo before you could use a new tape, but neither would fail on a missing tape until you actually tried to do some i/o on it. >> Ergo, if you want to use multiple filesystems, the smart move would be >> to "fake" the standard disk storage over multiple filesystems. > > How? Amanda does (or did last I looked) it by re-pointing a symlink. Presumably that is done at the right time with the right error handling. With bacula the options I can see are pre-job or post-job scripts, the former can at least abort the job on error. I suspect neither can guarantee proper timing. -- Dimitri Maziuk Programmer/sysadmin BioMagResBank, UW-Madison -- http://www.bmrb.wisc.edu
