I have tried the above it does not work...
From bacula-sd.conf:
Device {
Name = LTO-3
Media Type = LTO-3
Archive Device = /dev/nst0
AutomaticMount = Yes; # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = Yes;
RemovableMedia = Yes;
RandomAccess = No;
Label media = Yes;
Offline On Unmount = Yes;
}
And on my Catalog job I have:
RunAfterJob = "echo 'release LTO-3' | bconsole"
None of the above seems to work, apparently the tape is not ejected if I
do status on the tape drive I can see that last nights tape is still in
the drive.
Thanks
Keith
