Consider a admin job where the drive is cleaned.  I'm very confused by the 
library needing to clean so often.

I’m sorry this took so long to get you any help.

The above information, and the logs you provided in another post, should have 
been included with your initial post.  Context is everything.

Given the evidence presented, everyone correctly concluded you were having 
trouble with initial configuration.  That was not the case.

 I've modified and recompiled, waiting for result till next drive cleaning...
 
 Probably that's it:
 
 stored/stored_conf.c:
 
{maximumchangerwait,store_time,   ITEM(res_dev.max_changer_wait), 
 0, ITEM_DEFAULT, 5 * 60},

If this helps, I think it should/could become a configurable item, available in 
bacula-dir.conf.

I also wonder what other installations do for cleaning in similar circumstances.

http://www.bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/main/main/Storage_Daemon_Configuratio.html

Maximum Changer Wait = time
This directive specifies the maximum time in seconds for Bacula to wait for an 
autochanger to change the volume. If this time is exceeded, Bacula will 
invalidate the Volume slot number stored in the catalog and try again. If no 
additional changer volumes exist, Bacula will ask the operator to intervene. 
The default is 5 minutes.

There are several ‘wait’ / ‘time’ options listed there.

Have you ensured everything is correct with the permissions etc?

Five minutes to load a tape is way too long for something which succeeds.  My 
hypothesis: there is a problem with the process.

Configuring an autochanger has many places where it can go astray.

I documented some of the pitfalls here:

Hello,
  
  Assuming you are using the Bacula mtx-changer script.
  
  In case of really big problems with the mtx-changer script, the
  first step is to execute it by hand and see what it outputs.  The
  second step is to set the environment variable debug_log=1 and the
  working directory at the file mtx.log.  That should give a better
  idea what is going on.
  
  Best regards,
  Kern

Re: [Bacula-users] [Bacula-devel] Load slots timeout

Yes and no

If the tape has been closed properly then Yes, if it hasnt the first thing the 
drive is going to do is to pass over the entire tape to get the end-marker 
position out of the tape which can take way more than 5 minutes and really isnt 
an error state.  

And to my knowledge there is no way to detect it other than to wait

When Bacula is using mtx (the mtx-changer script) to load a tape, it
does not move the tape to the end of media marker.  This will happen
later only if Bacula is going to write on the tape.  Thus moving to the
end of the media is not part of the timeout for loading a tape -- unless
you have some really non-standard tape drive or OS kernel driver, which
I have never heard of.

Best regards,
Kern

 Hi guys.
 
 I use bacula 5.2.13 with IBM TS3200 library.
 
 Periodically I face problem with load slot time out. In logs it looks lilke:
 
 22-Sep 00:35 baculasrv-dir JobId 10471: Recycled volume 220AAAL6
 22-Sep 00:35 baculasrv-sd JobId 10471: 3304 Issuing autochanger load slot 
 1, drive 1 command.
 22-Sep 00:40 baculasrv-sd JobId 10471: Fatal error: 3992 Bad autochanger 
 load slot 1, drive 1: ERR=Child died from signal 15: Termination.
 Results=Program killed by Bacula (timeout)
 22-Sep 00:32 sqcompose-fd JobId 10471: Fatal error: backup.c:1019 Network 
 send error to SD.
 
 As I understood, bacula tries to load slot for 5 minutes and if it's not 
 successful stops job.
 I started investigation why bacula sometimes doesn't manage to load slot in 
 5 minutes and find out library stops responding to commands and starts 
 cleaning drive procedure which takes more than 5 minutes(Library was 
 configured to clean drive automatically)
 
 So how can I solve the problem?
 I've found place in mtx-changer script where declared 300 seconds to wait. 
 I've increased it value to 1800 seconds. Is it only place or I have to 
 change somthing else in sources?
 


 Hi everybody.
 Increasing timeout in mtx-changer script hasn't helped, I have the same 
 issue. Where in sources I can increase timeout to 30 minutes?

I don’t see why this is on devel  It should be on users, which is cc’d here.
