Not exactly, though, at a customer installation, I encounter a similar problem. Currently, for different reasons, I have not investigated further, but I think there might be a problem in Bacula... That installation will be upgraded to 2.2 in the near future, and then it's time for me to investigate this. As of now, if, before you start a job, there are usable volumes from the pool needed in the autochanger, but Bacula insists on using volumes not loaded, I'd say you found a bug. My current work-around is to set all volumes from the pool to "enabled=no", manually load a usable volume to the drive, set this volume alone to "enabled=yes", and mount the storage device again. After a few mounts, Bacula used the volume available and things continued as they should, but YMMV etc. Arno -- Arno Lehmann IT-Service Lehmann www.its-lehmann.de ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
