[Bacula-users] RunBeforeJob / tape compression off

2006-09-17 Thread Michael Brennen
It appears that the only way to turn off hardware tape compression is to have RunBeforeJob execute a script that turns off h/w tape compression with 'mt'. I did not see in either released or development documentation that there is a %? substitution for the tape device to be used for the Job

[Bacula-users] Tape drive blocked / cleared

I think I can recount this accurately; again, it is a situation that came up before I was aware of it, so I'm not quite sure how I got there. I think I have cleared it up, so I thought I would post this for comment. Last night after the FNI0016 tape would not mount, apparently due to a label

[Bacula-users] Waiting to mount

2006-09-13 Thread Michael Brennen
I upgraded bacula via cvs to 1.39.23 today, restarted everything fresh, ran 'update slots', and started a job that wants volume FNI0016. It does issue the autochanger command to load the tape, it does load it and it is in the drive. bacula knows about it, but it also wants it to be mounted.

2006-09-13 Thread Michael Brennen
I was able just now to work further with the FNI0016 tape that was not mounting. I purged and relabeled that particular tape, and now it is mounting. All I can figure is that the tape label was lost somehow. I don't remember a specific incident where that would have happened, but I have

I am seeing some inconsistency between what the SD thinks it has loaded in the tape drives and what is actually loaded. The 'stat storage=Q47' output below shows that Drive-2 has slot 11 loaded. That drive is not in fact loaded and volume FNI0010, which corresponds to slot 11, is in the
