If I do a restart of the system with the correct tape loaded and then do a
"status storage" I invariably get this message:
Device status:
Device "DDS-3" (/dev/nst0) is mounted with Volume="EPOL006" Pool="*unknown*"
Total Bytes Read=0 Blocks Read=0 Bytes/block=0
Positioned at File=0 Block=0
Device "DDS-4" (/dev/nst0) is not open or does not exist.
Device "FileBackup" (/downloads/bacula-backups) is not open or does not exist.
====
In Use Volume status:
EPOL006 on device "DDS-3" (/dev/nst0)
====
Bacula has correctly read the volume as EPOL006 and clearly doesn't know which
pool it belongs to and has made a fatal guess of the storage device. At back-up
time it correctly opens DDS-4 which fails with busy indication because someone
else (in casu Bacula) has occupied the tape streamer.
Maybe I should report it to bugzilla?
