Hello,

This is a bug.  It is caused by having a default Volume Poll Interval of 5 minutes.  Set it to something longer or zero and the messages will go away.

It would be nice if someone would submit this as a bug so that fixing it will not get lost ...

Best regards,
Kern

Dear all kind Bacula-User-mailinglist-abonnements,

 

I have a problem since updating from bacual 5.x to 7.4.x.

 

I use an Tandberg LTO-5HH drive to do Backups of the local harddisks. Some of them are (at least as full backup) bigger than one single tape.

 

I don't have the money for an autochanger, so I'm used to change them manually.

 

During the day, this is no problem as I'm at work, but it happens that the actual tape is full when I'm not at work (surprise).

 

With Bacula 5.x I got the "change tape" message and if I didn't change it immidiately this message was repeated every several hours till I came back and everything worked well. Sure, the job wnet to "error" if I was not there for several days.

 

With 7.4.x bacula repeats the change tape message now every 5 minutes or so and eventually fail already (job state: error) after a couple of hours.

 

I tried hard to find the paramters to change this behaviour, but I was not successful.

 

Maybe someon of you has had this problem too and is willing to share his oder her knowledge with me!

 

Kind regards,

 

Christian
