Hello, I got a problem with one tape which have a corrupt label so bacula cannot mount them. I checked with btape too: readlabel could not found the original label.
The tape is in use of my weekly backups. Now my serious problem: A job has been startet. Bacula has loaded the tape an wants to mount it. But it cannot because of the label was not found. Now bacula wait and wait and wait..so I must cancel the jobs which will go on these tape. I think auto cancel of the job I can configure on job level. To reread which tape is in which port I have updated the media list by an umount update slots scan. At Slot 6 which contains the corrupt tape I got a message. A update slots=6 scan again said: Could not unserialize Volume label: ERR=label.c:775 Expecting Volume Label, got FI=SOS_LABEL Stream=141 len=162. Here a problem: But the tape will be still loading at next backup so I have now disabled the volume which should contains the slot. 1. Is there a way to use an Error status instead of an disabling? (Not important but shows that there is a problem with this tape). Disabled status tapes could not purge, later. 2. Because of the corrupt label I think all backups stored on the tape and the following incrementals are no more readable so I want to purge/prune them. I did this without any problem after setting the status back to Full. Any other idea? 3. Here I found possible an bug: I have to delete the volume so I used update which didn't helped me: *update Update choice: 1: Volume parameters 2: Pool from resource 3: Slots from autochanger Choose catalog item to update (1-3): 3 The defined Storage resources are: 1: File 2: Libra-8 Select Storage resource (1-2): 2 Connecting to Storage daemon Libra-8 at spaceetch.privatnet:9103 ... Connecting to Storage daemon Libra-8 at spaceetch.privatnet:9103 ... 3306 Issuing autochanger "slots" command. Device "Libra-8" has 8 slots. Connecting to Storage daemon Libra-8 at spaceetch.privatnet:9103 ... 3306 Issuing autochanger "list" command. No Volumes found to label, or no barcodes. So I used different one to check how I can delete the volume from the database. A update than slots didn't helped me. Any idea how I can delete the media from bacula? 4. update command can move a volume to an slot number which didn't exist on the tape library (12 for example). Not dau friendly :-) MfG...
