Hello,

On Bacula 5.0.2 I would like to mount the storage before a backup job 
starts in case it was unmounted by 'umount' before.

I added the following to the backup job:

RunScript {
   RunsWhen = Before
   Command  = "echo 'mount storage=kvm1-sd' | /usr/bin/bconsole"
}

However this does not work: the job is put into the queue and remains 
there until the storage is mounted, which should be done by the job 
itself. Looks like a chicken egg problem!?

Is there really no way to get the storage mounted by the bacula?
Writing a cron job doing this just before bacula starts seems to me very 
poor workaround.

By the way, the opposite (unmounting) does not work too:

RunScript {
   RunsWhen = After
   Command = "echo 'unmount storage=kvm1-sd' | /usr/bin/bconsole"
   Command = "/bin/mt -f /dev/nst0 eject"
}

This ends with 'ClientAfterJob: /dev/nst0: Device or resource busy' 
which I understand since the 'unmount' command did not work, the storage 
daemon still locks the device.

Felix
