Hello again
sorry the à come from my crappy webmail client sorry ....
i tried the same setup with a physical autochanger ( 2 drives 10 slots )
1/ virtualfull
2/ incremental
3/ virtualfull
i have the same problem again :
the previous virtualfull sits idle in drive2 and bacula expects it in drive1
but never unloads it from drive2
i added maximum volume jobs =1 to the pool to make sure bacula does not try to
read and write to the same volume but it did not solve the problem
if i manually unload the first vbackup from the drive before trying theÂ
vbackup everything works fine....

Hello,
1. we don't support disk-changer except for our own internal regression
testing. It is used for testing only, and I don't believe that it is
documented other than in the file itself. You are free to use it, but please
don't ask for support on the Bacula devel list for it. I will modify the
comments in the file to clearly indicate that it is not intended or supported
for production use.
2. we do not support any "vchanger", please send your requests to the author
of that code.
3. I see a lot of à characters below, so clearly you have some configuration
or language problem. If you stick to pure ASCII characters, you may have
better luck with Bacula.
4. I see you are using device vtape. To the best of my knowledge, like
disk-changer, this is not documented. In any case, you should not be using
it. It is used only for regression testing, and it is not at all suitable
for doing any real backups.Â
I suspect that everything you want to do can be done without disk-changers and
without any vitural stuff, it is just a matter of configuration. For
information on how to do that see www.bacula.org -> Getting Support
Best regards,
Kern

[Hide Quoted Text] Hello,
I try to replace full backups by virtualfull backups.
I use a virtual autocharger( disk changer, also tried vchanger)ÃÂ with 10
slots and 2 drives
the second virtuallfull hangs waiting for a volume that is already mounted
( idle) in another drive
This behaviour is 100% reproducible ( bacula 5.02 ).
i test my setup with the following sequence:
A/ incremental ( transformed to full )ÃÂ OK stored in pool incr and volume1
B/ Virtuall fullÃÂ OKÃÂ stored in volume2 and pool vfull
C/ incremental OK appended to Volume1 pool incr
DEVICE STATUS return the folluwing result:

D /run a virtual full
bacula chooses a new volume for that backup ( volume 3 )
for whatever reason bacula wants to load volume2 ( the previous virtual
full ) in drive 0 but the volumeÃÂ is already sitting idle in drive 1
then the backup hangs and bacula asks the opetrator to mount volume2 on
drive0
how can i tellÃÂ bacula to check if a volume is already mounted before
trying to load it in another drive ??
