Hi Baculamailinglistusers,

have a simple problem with bacula.
We want to store bacula data into a hadoop storage, but bacula can't 
write into the fuse mount. so i want to write the baculdata over the 
fifo to the hadoop fs(it works with little problems). after the file is 
stored in the hadoop fs, i want to restore files directly from hadoop fs 
over fuse. it is no problem if i change the bacula config and edit the 
"Archive Device" from the fifo to the fuse mountpoint.

but is there a way in bacula to store backups over fifo and restore them 
directly from file?


config for storage like this:

Device {
         Name = my_server
         Media Type = FiFo
         Archive Device = /tmp/fifo
         LabelMedia = yes;
         Random Access = no;
         AutomaticMount = no;
         RemovableMedia = no;
         AlwaysOpen = no;
}


config needed for restore

Device {
         Name = my_server
         Media Type = Fifo
         Archive Device = /mnt/media
         LabelMedia = yes;
         Random Access = no;
         AutomaticMount = no;
         RemovableMedia = no;
         AlwaysOpen = no;
}

and hadoop stores the data over fifo with

hadoop fs -put /tmp/fifo /

and fuse mount

hadoop-fuse-dfs dfs://hostname:9000 /mnt/media

i don't see anything in the dokumentation about this.
