As the Director knows the Storage Daemon does not. So when it mounts the volume it knows the Volume Name (as that is in the label) but the Pool info it will only know after it wrote to the volume as part of the protocol it will lookup that info as part of the interaction between DIR and SD when doing a backup or restore. The design choose not to contact the DIR on startup of the SD to lookup this info.
I guess when you have run a restore or backup to the volume the pool will be showed at least that is my recollection of how things work. -- Marco van Wieringen [email protected] Bareos GmbH & Co.
