Hello,
I'm using bacula-15.0.3 with the S3 volume storage using DigitalOcean
Spaces. I've been doing this successfully for about 9 months without any
issues. Today, I got an alert to mount the storage, which I've never had
before with my configuration. The directory /var/spool/cloud is really a
symlink pointing at /var/spool/bacula/cloud which is on a separate disk,
and has been working fine. The permissions look correct to me. This is
my cache disk. I'm able to access the volume via the DigitalOcean
console and I don't see any errors there. I'm at a loss for what this
message means. I've tried using the mount command, which just causes the
same error in the messages and I get another alert. I've tried
restarting services and also the entire server with the same result. The
status.digitalocean.com doesn't show any issues. I'm not sure what else
I can try to do in order to get my backups running again or figure out
what is causing this odd message.
Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you,
-Tom
