In my opinion, this is a packaging problem. Instead of having Bacula check for a condition that is mainly an aministrative problem, the rpm could print a message to check for the necessary permissions. However, if you follow the guide in the manual, I think this sort of trouble sholdn't happen, because you would notice the missing permissions during your tape testing session. > What I mean is that the actual behavior has been really confusing, > command label outputs "Sending command label to storage....." and > console freezes - if I open second console it says that tape is in state > LABELING MEDIA and the tape do not even move. > If I tried to run a job tape ended in state 'initializing device'. This is astonishing, because I thought the daemons wouldn't simply be stalled, but rather print a message with the "Permission denied" error. At least that's what many users reported :-) Arno > Radek > > By the way: thanks for such a good program > -- IT-Service Lehmann [EMAIL PROTECTED] Arno Lehmann http://www.its-lehmann.de ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
