[Bacula-users] Automated eject and automated mount of tapes

[Martin S. <ms...@ha...>]

Unfortumately I cannot access the mail archive and censequently I cannot 
find out whether the answer has already been given.

I have a DDS-3 DAT and it should eject as soon as a new tape is 
requested and the new tape should be mounted automatically.

I have a configuration that does all this except that it does not read 
the fresh tape correctly. The tape is correctly ejected and the drive is 
then polled at intervals. The new tape is then actually detected but 
then the storage daemon falls into a status 'Device "DDS-2" (/dev/nst0) 
open but no Bacula volume is currently mounted.'. But it actually _is_ a 
bacula volume and a simple mount in bconsole makes the job continue.

What is the correct combination of configurations to accomplish this - 
if possible at all? I found some mails addressing versions 1.31 or 1.38 
but I am using 2.0.3...

Best Regards,

Martin




This is my config:

  Automatic Mount = yes;               # when device opened, read it
  Label Media = yes;                   # lets Bacula label unlabeled media
  Always Open = no;
  Volume Poll Interval = 5m
  Close on Poll= Yes;
  Removable Media = yes;
  Random Access = no;
  Maximum Open Wait = 3d          # 3 days in seconds
  Offline On Unmount = Yes;          # keep this too
