[Bacula-users] Antwort: Re: mount not working (I think)

Ow, while I was writing the text below, I wanted to reproduce the problem but then
the restore suddenly worked without problems. I have had this behaviour quite
often the last couple of days. I don't think I have done anything different but
I can't know for sure of course. I send this mail just for archive purposes and
will try to reproduce this "waiting for a mount request" during the next days.
For now, this is SOLVED. (Still, could someone maybe explain the "Storage:"
parameter during restores?)

Ok. First the situation: I have a pool "Monday" where all volumes are on a USB-disk
using a virtual autochanger. This pool is written monday nights (differential).
Another pool "Hourly" uses the local disk to make hourly backups (incremental).
(see config below).

The backups worked. I have a file HELLO in a volume on the USB-disk and a file
HUHU on a volume on the local disk. (The backups worked without having to mount
anything btw). Then I start the restore by marking both files:

Run Restore job
JobName: RestoreFiles
Bootstrap: /home/bacula/working/bacula-dir.restore.1.bsr
Where: /bacula-restores
Replace: always
FileSet: Full Set
Backup Client: storage-fd
Restore Client: storage-fd
Storage: usbchanger1
When: 2009-05-19 17:37:13
Catalog: MyCatalog
Priority: 10
Plugin Options: *None*
OK to run? (yes/mod/no):

First, I don't really understand the "Storage:" there. The files to restore are on
different storage devices. But nevertheless, I start the backup and HELLO gets restored
immediately. Then the job status changes to "waiting for a mount request". mount outputs:

*mount
The defined Storage resources are:
1: File
2: usbchanger1
Select Storage resource (1-2): 1
3906 File device "FileStorage" (/hbackup) is always mounted.

The status still didn't change.

Device {
Name = FileStorage
Media Type = File
Archive Device = /hbackup
LabelMedia = yes; # lets Bacula label unlabeled media
Random Access = Yes;
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
RemovableMedia = no;
AlwaysOpen = no;
}

# local virtual autochanger with USB drive "magazines"
Autochanger {
Name = usb-changer-1
Device = usb-changer-1-drive-0
Device = usb-changer-1-drive-1
Changer Command = "/usr/local/bin/vchanger %c %o %S %a %d"
Changer Device = "/home/bacula/etc/usbchanger1.conf"
}

# drive 0 of the usb-changer-1 autochanger
Device {
Name = usb-changer-1-drive-0
DriveIndex = 0
Autochanger = yes;
DeviceType = File
MediaType = File
ArchiveDevice = /home/bacula/working/usbchanger1/0/drive0
RemovableMedia = no;
RandomAccess = yes;
}

# drive 1 of the usb-changer-1 autochanger
Device {
Name = usb-changer-1-drive-1
DriveIndex = 1
Autochanger = yes;
DeviceType = File
MediaType = File
ArchiveDevice = /home/bacula/working/usbchanger1/1/drive1
RemovableMedia = no;
RandomAccess = yes;
}
