Hello,
We are running Bacula 7.0.5 on CentOS 7.0. This weekend, one of our full
stores blocked waiting on a tape. However I was trying to enjoy the nice
Chicago weather and trying not to think about work, so needless to say our
backup failed.
Starngely, we have another tape that SHOULD be available. Tapes in this
pool are set to recycle after 90 days, and 90 days ago from today is May
4th.
We have a tape that was last written to on March 28. So why would Bacula
block on the unavailable tape? Can I set it to fail and move on if a tape
is not available? I will never be able to satisfy Bacula over the weekend-
I would rather it fail than hold everything up.
Thanks. Here's some Bacula queries; first my client entry from
bacula-dir.conf:
Client {
Name = fscluster2-backup
...
File Retention = 3 months
Job Retention = 3 months
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired Jobs/Files
}
Here's what status jobs says:
Device "HP_LTO-3" (/dev/nst0) is not open.
Device is BLOCKED waiting for mount of volume "EPW681L3",
Pool: Tape
Media type: LTO-3
Drive 0 is not loaded.

Used Volume status:
Reserved volume: EPW681L3 on tape device "HP_LTO-3" (/dev/nst0)
Reader=0 writers=1 reserves=0 volinuse=0
====
But list media shows a volume in the changer which was last written to on
March 28; much older than 90 days. Why didn't Bacula use it?
