[Bacula-users] Storage/device problem - Device is not open or does not exist.

[Martin J. G. <mg...@al...>]

I've configured bacula, but having a few problems. We have a TB software
raid array configured in linux (2.6.17.4 slackware 10.2), that I'm
trying to set as storage space for bacula. Its mounted by the OS in
/mnt/storage

Device {

  Name =3D raid

  Media Type =3D File

  Archive Device =3D /mnt/storage

  AutomaticMount =3D yes

  Random Access =3D Yes

RemovableMedia =3D no

AlwaysOpen =3D no

}

=20

I've tried putting both the device in there and the mount directory -
each time I get a 'Device is not open or does not exist' error when
asking status backup-sd in bconsole. All backups fail as it can't open
the device. I have matching details in dir. I've even tried adding the
device as requiring mount (and umounting It beforehand), but sd wouldn't
even start even though I'd essentially copied from the example config.

Even if I list another example from the example...

=20

Device {

  Name =3D FileStorage

  Media Type =3D File

  Archive Device =3D /tmp

  LabelMedia =3D yes;                   # lets Bacula label unlabeled
media

  Random Access =3D Yes;

  AutomaticMount =3D yes;               # when device opened, read i

  RemovableMedia =3D no;

  AlwaysOpen =3D no;

}

=20

I still get Device status:

Device "FileStorage" (/tmp) is not open or does not exist.

Now I know for a fact that tmp exists and is 1777 - so something is up
with bacula.

Any ideas?
