Hello list,
I have spent much time trying to set up DVD-writing with Bacula, and
almost made it work... But I come to you for (hopefully) the last step
which I can't get working.
When running a backup job supposed to write on DVD, bacula-sd wait for
me to mount a volume: "Please mount Volume "BaculaDVD0001" on Storage
Device "DVD-Writer" (/dev/hdd) for Job
Full_Set_on_DVD.2007-07-16_14.51.42", it says. How should I do that? The
"mount" command from the console does not stop bacula for asking this.
Mounting the DVD from command-line is impossible as the DVD is blank
(has no FS). Shouldn't the mount happen automatically, as I asked for
automatic labelling?
Here below, the config and testing procedure details.
Thanks a lot for any hint. I am stuck there since a very long time and
already tried everything I could find in the mailing lists archive
regarding this problem.
Olivier
==Config==
Bacula 2.0.3, installed using apt-get from Debian distribution "testing"
AKA "lenny". Also tried with Bacula 1.38.11 (from "stable"), same
behavior encountered (a bit worse, in fact, I can add details if
somebody is interrested).

== Test procedure ==
Using a DVD+RW disk. I blank the drive, then check that it can't be mounted.
dd if=/dev/zero bs=1024 count=512 | growisofs -Z /dev/hdd=/dev/fd/0
Olivier:/etc/bacula# mount /dev/hdd /mnt/dvd
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
In the bacula console, after having restarted the three daemons, I check
that no jobs are running and I use "update" to disable the current
volume's status, if any (to start everything from scratch). Then I run
the DVD-backup job:
*run
A job name must be specified.

== What works ==
(NB: /dev/cdrw is the same as /dev/dvd)
Writing to DVD using growisofs works:
growisofs -Z /dev/cdrw -R -J /etc => OK (mount then ls shows the /etc
directory contents)
Creating a "file1" random file, then writing it to DVD using dvd-handler
script works:
ls -l /tmp/file1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 82360320 2007-07-16 14:08 /tmp/file1
unmount DVD, blank it, then
/etc/bacula/scripts/dvd-handler /dev/cdrw write 1 /tmp/file1 => OK
(mount then ls and md5sum to check "file1" contents OK)
Doing a simple "file" backup with bacula console works. The backup is
indeed created in /tmp.
Thanks again for any help.
