Hello all, I've had the following problem for ages (meaning multiple major revisions of bacula) and I've seen this come up from time to time on the mailing list, but I've never actually seen a resolu

I do not have a good solution but I know by default bacula does not want to load the same pool into more than 1 storage device at the same time. John -- LogMeIn Central: Instant, anywhere, Remote PC

I think it's something in the automated logic. Because if I launch jobs by hand (same pool across 2 tapes devices in same autochanger) everything works fine. I think it has more to do with the Schedu

I also use Accurate backups which can sometimes take a bit before the job get's back to volume/drive assignments, so it might be a race condition where when the blocking jobs start they still want th
When both jobs start at the same time and same priority, they see the same exact "next available volume" for the pool, and so both select the same volume. When they select different drives, it is a p

I suspected something like that, but would ask out loud "if bacula runs into a contention like that and there are other available volumes in the requested pool, why doesn't it decide to use another v

No such luck. I already have "Prefer Mounted Volumes = no" set for all jobs. That's apparently not a solution. Stephen -- Stephen Thompson Berkeley Seismological Laboratory stephen AT seismo.berkeley
Dear Stephen Thompson, ... I'm not sure about this. I see very similar problems when trying to use the second drive for other purposes, like labelling new tapes, while a job is running on the first o
