This is very similar case like the thread "Ongoing mount problems" a couple
of days ago. However, there was no solution so I started this over...
I have a quite fresh install of Bacula 2.03 on CentOS5 (~RHEL5)
Tape drive is Exabyte VXA-320 w/ 10-slot autochanger.
Previously, I was running FC5 on the same hardware, with Bacula 1.38.11 and
my conf files are basically from that system with no changes (except some
schedule changes, the system was set up a while ago so I may have forgotten
some minor change)
Now, when there is a need for the autochanger to jump to another tape
(because of eg. expired volume duration, that was set to only 15 mins for
this debugging) Bacula properly calls mtx-changer script, unloads and loads
the tapes, but the new tape won't get mounted.
Manual mount command solves this, but the need to execute it effectively
eliminates the benefits of an autochanger anyway...
Now, I've been able to repeat this 3-4 times (every time I tried today).
Any idea what causes this behaviour, and how to fix it?
Btw,
I didn't find (I'm not saying it couldn't be there somewhere anyway...) any
explanation about AutomaticMount option in the manual -I just found examples
with that line.
