Ok I reviewed all of the things you suggested, here is what I found.
The output from the mtx-changer script is:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] bacula]# ./mtx-changer /dev/sg0 list
5:000027
7:000025
8:000024
11:000017
12:000018
13:000019
14:000020
15:000021
16:000022
17:000009
18:000010
19:000011
20:000012
21:000016
22:000003
23:000015
6:000026
so it is working.....
in my bacula-fd.conf the changer/mtx-changer is
Autochanger {
Name = Autochanger
Device = Drive-1, Drive-2
Changer Command = "/etc/bacula/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
Changer Device = /dev/sg0
}
in the mtx-changer script mtx is :
MTX=mtx
I don't think it's the mtx-changer script, because it works when called
out side of bconsole.
I commented out a part in the mtx-changer script where it deletes the
temp file that is created from them output of mtx status, and I've found
what may be causing my problem, but I don't know where to go from
here...
If I run the script(mtx-changer) from outside bconsole, the file is
created with the following inside:
Storage Changer /dev/sg0:2 Drives, 23 Slots ( 0 Import/Export )
Data Transfer Element 0:Full (Storage Element 6 Loaded):VolumeTag =
000026
Data Transfer Element 1:Empty
Storage Element 1:Empty:VolumeTag=
Storage Element 2:Empty:VolumeTag=
Storage Element 3:Empty:VolumeTag=
Storage Element 4:Empty:VolumeTag=
Storage Element 5:Full :VolumeTag=000027
Storage Element 6:Empty:VolumeTag=
Storage Element 7:Full :VolumeTag=000025
Storage Element 8:Full :VolumeTag=000024
Storage Element 9:Empty:VolumeTag=
Storage Element 10:Empty:VolumeTag=
Storage Element 11:Full :VolumeTag=000017
Storage Element 12:Full :VolumeTag=000018
Storage Element 13:Full :VolumeTag=000019
Storage Element 14:Full :VolumeTag=000020
Storage Element 15:Full :VolumeTag=000021
Storage Element 16:Full :VolumeTag=000022
Storage Element 17:Full :VolumeTag=000009
Storage Element 18:Full :VolumeTag=000010
Storage Element 19:Full :VolumeTag=000011
Storage Element 20:Full :VolumeTag=000012
Storage Element 21:Full :VolumeTag=000016
Storage Element 22:Full :VolumeTag=000003
Storage Element 23:Full :VolumeTag=000015
This is normal I'm assuming.
However, if I issue the command update slots with in bconsole, a temp
file is created, but is empty, so the parsing is failing there.
Also I enabled debugging with in the mtx-changer script and when I issue
the update command in bconsole, I see the following in the debug file.
20070531-07:09:18 Parms: /dev/sg0 slots 0 /dev/nst0 0
20070531-07:09:18 Doing mtx -f /dev/sg0 -- to get count of slots
20070531-07:09:20 Parms: /dev/sg0 list 0 /dev/nst0 0
20070531-07:09:20 Doing mtx -f /dev/sg0 -- to list volumes
Still the same message in bconsole
No Volumes found to label, or no barcodes.
So I tried mtx-change with the parms from the debug file and I get...
# /etc/bacula/mtx-changer /dev/sg0 slots 0 /dev/nst0 0
23
# /etc/bacula/mtx-changer /dev/sg0 list 0 /dev/nst0 0
5:000027
7:000025
8:000024
11:000017
12:000018
13:000019
14:000020
15:000021
16:000022
17:000009
18:000010
19:000011
20:000012
21:000016
22:000003
23:000015
6:000026
Which correct. Any ideas?
Thanks for you help...
