Objet: Re: [Bacula-users] Autochanger best practicies
Hi Thibault,
From what I recall of my bacula install, it is better to set the
Changer Device to a linked device that is updated on boot, as /dev/sg3
might be the autochanger but in a reboot could become a drive and the
autochanger move to /dev/sg2 (for example). I use the following script
run after reboot to set the autochager properly:
#! /bin/bash
# Find the autochanger device and create the /dev/changer link
for i in /dev/sg{0..4}# the range might be different for you!
do
if (tapeinfo -f $i|grep "Medium Changer"); then
logger -t rclocal "Will create changer link to $i"
if readlink /dev/changer; then
unlink /dev/changer
logger -t rclocal "Removed an existing /dev/changer link"
fi
ln -s $i /dev/changer
fi
done
Regards,
Iñaki
