Hello *,

I've a Debian/Lenny server with Bacula 2.4.2. Bacula should backup data on
File storage. I'm trying to use two external USB disks with a ext2
partition on each. I've labeled both disks, one as Backup1-0001, the other
as Backup2-0001. I've also forced Bacula to use a different disk each day
with the following schedule:

Schedule {
  Name = "WeeklyCycle"
  Run = Level=Full Pool=Disco1 Storage=File1 nov 1st sun at 23:05
  Run = Level=Full Pool=Disco2 Storage=File2 jun 1st sun at 23:05
  Run = Level=Differential Pool=Disco1 Storage=File1 jan 1st sun at 23:06
  Run = Level=Differential Pool=Disco2 Storage=File2 feb 1st sun at 23:06
  Run = Level=Differential Pool=Disco1 Storage=File1 mar 1st sun at 23:06
  Run = Level=Differential Pool=Disco2 Storage=File2 apr 1st sun at 23:06
  Run = Level=Differential Pool=Disco1 Storage=File1 may 1st sun at 23:06
  Run = Level=Differential Pool=Disco1 Storage=File1 jul 1st sun at 23:06
  Run = Level=Differential Pool=Disco2 Storage=File2 aug 1st sun at 23:06
  Run = Level=Differential Pool=Disco1 Storage=File1 sep 1st sun at 23:06
  Run = Level=Differential Pool=Disco2 Storage=File2 oct 1st sun at 23:06
  Run = Level=Differential Pool=Disco2 Storage=File2 dec 1st sun at 23:06
  Run = Level=Incremental Pool=Disco1 Storage=File1 2nd sun at 23:07
  Run = Level=Incremental Pool=Disco2 Storage=File2 3rd sun at 23:07
  Run = Level=Incremental Pool=Disco1 Storage=File1 4th sun at 23:07
  Run = Level=Incremental Pool=Disco2 Storage=File2 5th sun at 23:07
  Run = Level=Incremental Pool=Disco1 Storage=File1 mon at 23:07
  Run = Level=Incremental Pool=Disco2 Storage=File2 tue at 23:07
  Run = Level=Incremental Pool=Disco1 Storage=File1 wed at 23:07
  Run = Level=Incremental Pool=Disco2 Storage=File2 thu at 23:07
}

where Disco1 and Disco2 contain Backup1-0001 and Backup2-0001 volumes
respectively.

My storage devices definitions are as follows:

Device {
  Name = FileStorage1
  Media Type = File
  Device Type = File
  Archive Device = /mnt/bacula-disk1
  LabelMedia = yes;                   # lets Bacula label unlabeled media
  Random Access = Yes;
  AutomaticMount = yes;               # when device opened, read it
  RemovableMedia = yes;
  Requires Mount = yes;
  Mount Point = /mnt/bacula-disk1;
  Mount Command = "/bin/mount %m";
  Unmount Command = "/bin/umount %m";
}

Device {
  Name = FileStorage2
  Media Type = File
  Device Type = File
  Archive Device = /mnt/bacula-disk2
  LabelMedia = yes;                   # lets Bacula label unlabeled media
  Random Access = Yes;
  AutomaticMount = yes;               # when device opened, read it
  RemovableMedia = yes;
  Requires Mount = yes;
  Mount Point = /mnt/bacula-disk2;
  Mount Command = "/bin/mount %m";
  Unmount Command = "/bin/umount %m";
}

The mount and unmount commands have been tested as bacula user and they
work, provided the correct disk is plugged in beforehand (thanks to a
custom fstab and udev rules).

The problem is that Bacula does not automatically mount those volumes. It
asks for Backup1-0001 but when I plug in the correct disk, it keeps asking
for Backup1-0001 ("waiting for a mount request"). If I enter bconsole and
manually mount it, the backup procedure starts correctly.

What am I missing?
