[Bacula-users] RV: Bacula fail if no tape inside tape unit.
Hi All, I'm using bacula (version 1.36.3, with Linux/CRUX and kernel 2.6.12, tape unit HP DDS-72) as my primary backup solution. It works very well, but when there is no tape inside the tape unit the backup job fails without ask for the required tape to the operator. Is this behaviour ok ?, how can I avoid it ? You can see the output of a bacula job when there is no tape inside of the tape unit. 15-Oct 09:00 phfs-dir: Start Backup JobId 10, Job=phfs-fd.2005-10-15_09.00.00 15-Oct 09:02 phfs-fd: phfs-fd.2005-10-15_09.00.00 Fatal error: job.c:1665 Bad response to Append Data command.

Sounded like bashing for me. Yes, there could be. I would expect you to establish that there was a bug before logging a bug report. That sounded strange to my ears like you implied I should magically verify I really found a bug instead of having an administrative problem here. I couldn't imagine how I was to do that since I'm not a Bacula developer. Many bug reports I've seen sound like process foobar has disappeared - the last log line I found was yipyap instead of the pointer assignment in line 3917 of the devices.c is not checking the return value. In the case I reported the storage daemon just seems to disappear. I didn't attach an strace to it or look into the source code yet. That process sounds inefficient and places too much work upon the packager. I didn't not invent this procedure. It was established long before I started to be involved in Debian. But it works pretty well. And Debian users appreciate that they do not have to find out whether there is a problem in the upstream package, a problem in the way the Debian package was built, a side-effect with another package or just a misconfiguration. People can check whether other users encountered the same problem (that's the first thing they are asked when they tell of problems with a package). And often there are workarounds in the bug reports that help you get the software working before a fixed package can be provided publicly.

We'll quickly tell you whether or not it's a bug or a configuration issue. -- Dan Langille : http://www.langille.org/ BSDCan - The Technical BSD Conference - http://www.bsdcan.org/ --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Power Architecture Resource Center: Free content, downloads, discussions, and more. http://solutions.newsforge.com/ibmarch.tmpl ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
