Hello Dan,

I was unable to reproduce this. The only situation where I got the error:

24-Aug 01:45 bacula-dir JobId 215534: Created new Volume="DiffAuto-4861", Pool="DiffFile", MediaType="File" in catalog.
24-Aug 01:45 crey-sd JobId 215534: Warning: mount.c:212 Open of file device "vDrive-1" (/usr/local/bacula/volumes) Volume "DiffAuto-4861" failed: ERR=file_dev.c:172 Could not open(/usr/local/bacula/volumes/DiffAuto-4861,OPEN_READ_WRITE,0640): ERR=No such file or directory

was when there was the file for the volume in the directory but the volume did not exist in catalog.

Tried to reproduce as bellow:

1) pool with maximum volumes = 5.

2) tried to run a job:

25-Aug 10:46 bacula-dir JobId 24: Start Backup JobId 24, Job=BackupClient1.2015-08-25_10.46.14_11

25-Aug 10:46 bacula-dir JobId 24: Using Device "FileChgr1-Dev1" to write.

25-Aug 10:46 bacula-sd JobId 24: Job BackupClient1.2015-08-25_10.46.14_11 is waiting. Cannot find any appendable volumes.

Please use the "label" command to create a new Volume for:

    Storage:      "FileChgr1-Dev1" (/opt/bacula/disk)

    Pool:         File

    Media type:   File1

3) increased the maximum volumes to 50 (updated conf, reload, list pool bellow).

*list pool=File

+--------+------+---------+---------+----------+-------------+

| PoolId | Name | NumVols | MaxVols | PoolType | LabelFormat |

+--------+------+---------+---------+----------+-------------+

|      2 | File |       5 |      50 | Backup   | Vol-        |

+--------+------+---------+---------+----------+-------------+

4) then tried a mount and everything goes fine (i didn't try a label before mount command):

*mount

The defined Storage resources are:

     1: File1

     2: File2

Select Storage resource (1-2): 1

3001 OK mount requested. Device="FileChgr1-Dev1" (/opt/bacula/disk)

You have messages.

Environment used for the tests:

Best regards,

I recently started using the Virtual Autochanger as described in 'Best Practices for Disk Based Backup' [1]

It is working for me, but I encountered a problem with the audo-label process.

My bacula-sd.conf and the full transcript of the logging problem is at:

Ideas?

A job stalled with:

24-Aug 01:43 crey-sd JobId 215534: Job dent.2015-08-24_00.58.35_01 is waiting. Cannot find any appendable volumes.

I amended the pool definition to allow more Volumes, then went back to bconsole, expecting a mount command to create & label a new volume.


*mount
The defined Storage resources are:
     1: CreyFile
     2: CompaqStorageWorksTapeLibrary
Select Storage resource (1-2): 1
Connecting to Storage daemon CreyFile at crey.int.unixathome.org:9103 ...
Enter autochanger drive[0]:
Enter autochanger slot:
3999 Device "VirtualDisk" not found or could not be opened.

Then I tried label:


*label

     1: CreyFile
     2: CompaqStorageWorksTapeLibrary
Select Storage resource (1-2): 1
Enter autochanger drive[0]: 2
Enter new Volume name: .

Eventually, I again tried mount:
