Hello, I've noticed that the behavior of bacula 1.38 is different to the previous releases of bacula when there is no tape in the drive and backup starts. Previous versions of bacula have block and request the operator to change/mount the right tape. 1.38 and up instead emit a fatal error and cancel the job. Is this a bug or a feature? ;-) Maybe I overseen something in the new releases?
Here's the snip from the e-mail to the operator when there is no right tape inside. 01-Dec 23:30 elexis-dir: Start Backup JobId 1797, Job=Homes_Backup.2005-12-01_23.30.00 01-Dec 23:53 elexis-sd: Homes_Backup.2005-12-01_23.30.00 Fatal error: dev.c:387 dev.c:381 Unable to open device "SDT-9000" (/dev/nst0): ERR=Input/output error 01-Dec 23:53 elexis-sd: Homes_Backup.2005-12-01_23.30.00 Fatal error: device.c:299 Unable to open device "SDT-9000" (/dev/nst0): ERR=dev.c:381 Unable to open device "SDT-9000" (/dev/nst0): ERR=Input/output error 01-Dec 23:53 elexis-fd: Homes_Backup.2005-12-01_23.30.00 Fatal error: job.c:1597 Bad response to Append Data command.
