[Bacula-users] Job is waiting for a mount request

Hi,

I am a newbie to Bacula. I tried to find out what is happening in the list and could not get right answer. Probably I am not searching with right question or looking at right place.

We have a test setup with File storage. All daemons are able to talk to each other and a small backup successfully finished. Here is the configuration of Pool and Storage.

# Default pool definition
Pool {
Name = Default
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes                       # Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes
AutoPrune = yes                     # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 365 days         # one year
}

# File Pool definition
Pool {
Name = File
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes                       # Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes
AutoPrune = yes                     # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 365 days         # one year
Maximum Volume Bytes = 50G          # Limit Volume size to something reasonable
Maximum Volumes = 100               # Limit number of Volumes in Pool
Label Format = FileShare
}

Here is the storage definition

Storage {                             # definition of myself
Name = cincidr-sd
SDPort = 9103                  # Director's port
WorkingDirectory = "/var/lib/bacula"
Pid Directory = "/var/run"
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20
}

Device {
Name = FileStorage
Media Type = File
Archive Device = /home/backups/fileshare
LabelMedia = yes;                   # lets Bacula label unlabeled media
Random Access = Yes;
AutomaticMount = yes;               # when device opened, read it
RemovableMedia = no;
AlwaysOpen = no;
Maximum File Size = 262144000;
Maximum Volume Size = 262144000;
}

I tried to backup a large file set (20+ GB). It stopped half way with the following message.

Running Jobs:
Console connected at 28-Jun-11 17:06
JobId Level   Name                       Status
======================================================================
     1 Full    FileShare.2011-06-28_10.04.46_03 is waiting for a mount request

Here is the status of storage.

Device status:
Device "FileStorage" (/home/backups/fileshare) open but no Bacula volume is currently mounted.
    Device is BLOCKED waiting for mount of volume "FileShare0037",
       Pool:        File
       Media type: File
    Total Bytes Read=0 Blocks Read=0 Bytes/block=0
    Positioned at File=0 Block=0

I have already set Automatic Mount = Yes as part of configuration. I am not sure where I am going wrong. Please help me.

thanks,

Venkatesh
