Hi!
I got this same problem, but there were no more available tapes on
that pool (well, just one more, there were just two tapes) ....
furthermore, I noticed that the tape's slots were mixed up (I guess it
was my mistake, the tapes have not barcodes, and maybe I unloaded the
tapes to the wrong slot last time I did some manual movement, or maybe
It wasn't me, I'm not sure). Anyway, it went like this:
I got Vol00001 and Vol00002, for some reason Vol00001 went to "error"
state, and it tried to mount Vol00002, but due to the "slots mixup",
it actually mounted Vol00001 again (duh...), I tried to manually mount
Vol00002, it actually read it, and then it automatically mounted
Vol00001 again (it didn't updated the slot... should it?, I was
mounting it using bconsole's mount command). I'm sure it was Vol00002
there because the autochanger got two drives, and I mounted that slot
(slot 2, actually) to the *other* drive, and it read the label
correctly and stated it got Vol00002, so, I went and umounted it, then
tried to mount to the "active" drive, it mounted it, and just unload
it and mount Vol00001 again. So, I canceled the job.
This is a new bacula installation, so I just went ahead and purged
Vol00001 volume, removed Vol00002, manually removed its label (using
dd).... and labeled a few new tapes (Vol00003 (the old Vol00002), and
Vol00004). At this point, I found that Vol00001's slot were not
correct, so I updated its info. This far it has filled two tapes (and
ran 5 backup jobs) with no problem... so, I guess the whole issue was
the slot number problem.
I have never had this problem with another installation were I use bar
code labels, whenever I move a tape, the db just updates correctly.
Anyway, I got some of the logged errors here:
