On Thu, 15 May 2008, Attila F�l�p spaketh thusly:

-}No I don't think so. I had to run the btape tests yesterday since I did a 
major
-}upgrade of my OS (mail is soon to follow). So now I know what I'm talking 
about ;-)
-}The first problem you have is that, at least under FreeBSD, btape can't 
access the
-}tape drive without a  tape in it. I would suggest the following procedure:
-}
-}      - place two blank tapes into slots 1 + 2, btape looks for them there.
-}      - load the first tape: mtx -f /dev/pass1 load 1 and wait for the changer
-}           to settle
-}      - run btape, it should now have no problem with the tape drive.
-}      - run the test command, it will test the changer as well
-}         - run the fill test

Ha-ha!  SCORE!

No tape in the drive.  All tests passed with flying colors!!!!  I went back
over the documentation on the bacula site and found a blurb about for freebsd
making sure a tape is loaded before starting bacula.

Tnx heaps and loads, Attila.

Hey BTW - do you or anybody know how to get the bconsole program to build on
freebsd?  I did a simple make install in the bacula-server ports dir but
bconsole didn't get built.  I've found /usr/local/share/bacula/bconsole which
is just a front-end for /usr/local/sbin/bconsole which doesn't exist.  Locate
just shows the one in /usr/local/share/bacula:
root dude ? locate bconsole
/usr/local/share/bacula/bconsole
/usr/ports/sysutils/bacula-server/work/bacula-2.2.8/manpages/bconsole.8
/usr/ports/sysutils/bacula-server/work/bacula-2.2.8/scripts/bconsole
/usr/ports/sysutils/bacula-server/work/bacula-2.2.8/scripts/bconsole.in
/usr/ports/sysutils/bacula-server/work/bacula-2.2.8/src/console/bconsole.conf
/usr/ports/sysutils/bacula-server/work/bacula-2.2.8/src/console/bconsole.conf.in
/usr/ports/sysutils/bacula-server/work/bacula-2.2.8/src/win32/installer/bconsole.conf.in

This is also the only instance that shows up in the install log:
root dude ? egrep bconsole /tmp/bacula-server.install
config.status: creating scripts/bconsole
config.status: creating src/console/bconsole.conf
/usr/bin/install -c -o root -g wheel -m 0754 bconsole
/usr/local/share/bacula/bconsole

So where's the bin?

I'm thinking this may be a question for the port maintainer but and still
poking around trying things.  I originally installed with bat and bwx support
disabled but am going to rebuild with both enabled to see if the binary is
generated.

Love with your heart, think with your head;  not the other way around.
