[Bacula-users] Label Barcodes delete data?
Hi, I use bacula 2.4.0 on Linux 2.6.9-42 I have Spectralogic T50 as Library and work as well from 2 years. My LTO3 tape have barcodes. I set the label of the tape LTO3 manually, if I like to use barcode names the data on the tape was deleted?

If I use the barcode I can mount the tape on always the 8 terapack I have (each terapack have 5 tape inside), and i'm not bind to the slot number. Understand?

I believe putting a barcode label on a tape that already has a manual label will not delete the tape however executing the label barcode command will fail because the tape already has a label in its bacula header.

Re: [Bacula-users] Label Barcodes delete data?
Ok, therefore the label barcode use the barcode to label each tape in the library but it's depends always that it's slot number. If i change the tape position on the slot (example from 22 to 24), i have to do update slots to see bacula the tape change position. But there is a method to use the barcode instead the slot number? So If I change the position of the tape the program search it by barcode .

Hi Daniele, If I understand correctly, you're trying to reuse tapes that were already used in Bacula before. But you want to change the label. Whenever I want to reuse a tape that has already been used by Bacula, I erase it first. Then I use it as if it was brand new. E.g. load it and do an mt -f /dev/nst0 weof mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind then label barcodes in bconsole. If the tape was used in this same Bacula installation you will likely have to clean up the related database entries. I haven't done that as I've only reused tapes from other Bacula installs. A 'purge volume' or maybe 'detete volume' should do it, check the manual. Regards, -- Alex Chekholko ch...@pcbi.upenn.edu -- Come build with us!

Dear John Drescher,

I do not know a the solution to this problem.
I would however over time recycle/delete the tapes with manual labels
so that you can add proper barcode labels to all your volumes.
An alternative solution is a small modification to the mtx script to
allow mapping of barcode labels to arbitrary volume names. This is
working fine for me:
#
# Map barcode label into a more comprehensive volume name
#
# Input: 2: or 4:ABC123 == Output: 2: resp. 4:K-H-4
#
# Slot: ${line%%:*}, Barcode: ${line##*:}
#
map_barcode() {
while read line ; do
if [ \! -r /etc/bacula/Barcodes.conf ] ; then
echo $line
continue
fi
if [ -z ${line##*:} ] ; then
echo $line
continue
fi
echo ${line%%:*}:`grep ^${line##*:} /etc/bacula/Barcodes.conf | sed -e
s/${line##*:}[][ ]*//`
done
}
plus this tiny patch:
