I am using Bacula to manage my Linux system backups.  So far it works
great.  One thing I am struggling with is an error being reported in
Bacula when a volume is requested to be appended to but it is archived
via HSM, see below:

07-Sep 20:05 techlnux-sd: techlnux_srv.2006-09-07_20.05.02 Fatal error:
device.c:296 Unable to open device "MVSFileStorage" (/bkupDVEL):
ERR=dev.c:444 Could not open: /bkupDVEL/Inc-0014, ERR=No such device or
address

Linux is running in a LPAR with a mounted NFS drive to a filesystem
supplied by another LPAR running z/OS 1.4 using NFS server to make the
disks available.  This communication is done via hipersockets and the
speed is fine.

According to the Bacula documentation, the "Maximum Open Wait" option
should default to 5 minutes but since the initial request received an
error message "No such device or address" it appears that Bacula stops
the job immediately.

When I reference the migrated files interactively from Linux command
prompt I also get the same "No such device or address" error message.

@techlnux:~]$ ls -l /bkupDVEL/inc-0016
ls: /bkupDVEL/inc-0016: No such device or address

After waiting for HSM to recall and restore the archive, the command
works fine.

@techlnux:~]$ ls -l /bkupDVEL/inc-0016
-rw-rw-rw-  1 root root 34332672 2006-08-17 20:06 /bkupDVEL/inc-0016

Running Bacula 1.38.5 under SuSE 64-bit (2.6.5-7.276-s390x) linux in a
stand alone LPAR.


Is there a way to have Bacula wait for the recovery of the archive from
HSM and continue?
