ArchiveDevice specifies the path to a symlink that will point to the
regular file containing the currently "loaded" volume. The symlink is
dynamically created by the script when a volume is "loaded" and deleted
when it is "unloaded". When bacula-sd opens the symlink, it will see
that it is a regular file, not a directory, and read/write to the real
file that the symlink points to.
The problem is likely permissions. For an autochanger with config file
at /etc/bacula/vchanger1, state information directory at
/var/bacula/vchanger1, and the mountpoint for the magazine partitions at
/mnt/vchanger1/magazine, then if bacula-sd is running as user bacula:
1. User bacula must have read/write access to the /var/bacula/vchanger1
directory and everything in it
2. User bacula must have read/write access to the entire filesystem
mounted at /mnt/vchanger1/magazine
3. User bacula must have read access to /etc/bacula/vchanger1.conf
If the script was tested by running it from the command line as root
prior to it being invoked from bacula-sd, then some of those
files/directories will be owned by root. This will cause permissions
problems when it is later invoked by bacula-sd as user bacula.
Using the example above, you can test for a permission problem as root by:
# su bacula /etc/bacula/vchanger /etc/bacula/vchanger1.conf list 1
/var/bacula/vchanger1/drive0 0
..and you can fix permission problems as root by:
# chown -R bacula.disk /var/bacula/vchanger1
# chown bacula.disk /etc/bacula/vchanger1.conf
# chown -R bacula.disk /mnt/vchanger1/magazine
I am working on a revision of the howto and script that will address
this issue and will post it to this list when finished.
