When trying to write/append some data to an existing labelled and mounted tape I get:
*messages 12-Nov 16:56 backup-sd JobId 12120: Job backup-data.2008-11-12_16.56.30 waiting. Cannot find any appendable volumes. Please use the "label" command to create a new Volume for: Storage: "Dell-PV-110T" (/dev/nsa0) Pool: Default Media type: LTO-2 *list media Pool=Default +---------+------------+-----------+---------+---------------+----------+--------------+---------+------+-----------+--------------+---------------------+ | MediaId | VolumeName | VolStatus | Enabled | VolBytes | VolFiles | VolRetention | Recycle | Slot | InChanger | MediaType | LastWritten | +---------+------------+-----------+---------+---------------+----------+--------------+---------+------+-----------+--------------+---------------------+ | 595 | Catalog-01 | Append | 1 | 4,023,197,419 | 0 | 34,560,000 | 1 | 0 | 0 | Media-backup | 2008-11-12 04:59:35 | | 642 | BG7385 | Append | 1 | 2,644,992 | 2 | 34,560,000 | 1 | 0 | 0 | LTO-2 | 2008-11-12 16:47:41 | +---------+------------+-----------+---------+---------------+----------+--------------+---------+------+-----------+--------------+---------------------+ * Why can my system not find any appendable volumes? It appears that the default Pool is ready to append to Volume Name: BG7385. In general, I find adding, mounting and labelling new tapes a bit confusing, especially when this is being done to an existing running system. -- Russell Sutherland [EMAIL PROTECTED] +1.416.696.7600 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
