The choices are confusing and the hit and miss approach leaves a broken install. apt-get install selects some odd places to put bacula config files. I could not find any control files, eg bacula-ctl-dir, on the system. I could not get postgresql to switch modes to sql_ascii from utf8. I don't know what a postgresql server dev package installs other than to satisfy the libpq need. What a headache to save typing a few commands and compile the thing. Besides a native compile is always good, eh? It is clean and simple and you control what functionality to compile in. It also gives one some practice skills for when the time cometh and we go looking for the usr local etc directory to run the upgrade commands. The way package dependencies are handled in Ubuntu can be bit confusing at times. I have Bacula installed in 10.10 and I find all the configuration files in /etc/bacula. You can find state files in /var/lib/bacula and log in /var/lob/bacula. I am using MySQL though. Thanks, Venkatesh K -- All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable. Why?

[Bacula-users] Job is waiting for a mount request
Hi,
I am a newbie to Bacula. I tried to find out what is happening in the list
and could not get right answer. Probably I am not searching with right
question or looking at right place.
We have a test setup with File storage. All daemons are able to talk to each
other and a small backup successfully finished. Here is the configuration of
Pool and Storage.
# Default pool definition
Pool {
Name = Default
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle
Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 365 days # one year
}
# File Pool definition
Pool {
Name = File
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle
Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 365 days # one year
Maximum Volume Bytes = 50G # Limit Volume size to something
reasonable
Maximum Volumes = 100 # Limit number of Volumes in Pool
Label Format = FileShare
}
Here is the storage definition
Storage { # definition of myself
Name = cincidr-sd
SDPort = 9103 # Director's port
WorkingDirectory = /var/lib/bacula
Pid Directory = /var/run
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20
}
Device {
Name = FileStorage
Media Type = File
Archive Device = /home/backups/fileshare
LabelMedia = yes; # lets Bacula label unlabeled media
Random Access = Yes;
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
RemovableMedia = no;
AlwaysOpen = no;
Maximum File Size = 262144000;
Maximum Volume Size = 262144000;
}
I tried to backup a large file set (20+ GB). It stopped half way with the
following message.

Re: [Bacula-users] Job is waiting for a mount request
I had used unmount. But, I nuked the whole configuration.
/etc/init.d/bacula-sd stop
/etc/init.d/bacula-dir stop
/usr/lib/bacula/drop_mysql_tables
/usr/lib/bacula/make_mysql_tables
rm -rf /var/lib/bacula/*
/etc/init.d/bacula-sd start
/etc/init.d/bacula-dir start
I did the same on the client.
Thanks,

Did you use the umount command recently?

Re: [Bacula-users] Job is waiting for a mount request
I don't think I have used unmount after removing old state files and nuking all data in sql database. I had started afresh and backup ran smoothly and created about 30 volumes (256MB each) and then stopped with following message.

If you just want to unload a volume without bacula giving up control on the storage device use the release command instead.

Does the volume FileShare0037 exist in /home/backups/fileshare?
No. It does not exist.
Do you have any limits on how many volumes in your pool?
Yes. The limit is 100.

Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle
Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes

Re: [Bacula-users] Job is waiting for a mount request
John, Please accept my apologies. It was disk space issue after all. The server had 1.7T and our administrator mounted the backup partition in wrong path. I was stupid enough not to check the mount points. Tons of thanks for your valuable time and pointing me to right direction. I am glad to be part of wonderful Bacula community.

Does that volume exist in the output of: list media pool=Backup You can execute that in bconsole. If it does exist is this the last volume?
