Hello Bill,

RDX has to working modes: disks and VTL.
Many years ago I configured it as a VTL with Bacula, and it worked very well.
For Disk mode, maybe configuring a Bacula Storage for each disk could be manageable. Or a crazier idea would be to create a CEPH cluster on the top of all disks.

Rgds.

In my experience, with RDX, the docking bay itself shows up as a device... (/dev/usbX or /dev/sdX, I forget)

But plugging/unplugging an RDX cartridge does not notify the kernel in any way, so udev rules are not possible to do anything
automatically with RDX.

This was my experience about 8 or more years ago which is why I abandoned any attempts to use RDX with my own customers, and
went with plain old removable eSATA drives, fully encrypted with LUKs, and auto-mounted with autofs.

I'd love to know if something has changed in this regard in the past 8 years or so. :)
