Item 1: "Maximum Concurrent Jobs" for drives when used with changer device
Origin: Ralf Gross ralf-lists <at> ralfgross.de
Date: 2008-12-12
Status: Initial Request
What: respect the "Maximum Concurrent Jobs" directive in the _drives_
Storage section in addition to the changer section
Why: I have a 3 drive changer where I want to be able to let 3 concurrent
jobs run in parallel. But only one job per drive at the same time.
Right now I don't see how I could limit the number of concurrent jobs
per drive in this situation.
Notes: Using different priorities for these jobs lead to problems that other
jobs are blocked. On the user list I got the advice to use the
"Prefer Mounted
Volumes" directive, but Kern advised against using "Prefer Mounted
Volumes" in an other thread:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.backup.bacula.devel/11876/
In addition I'm not sure if this would be the same as respecting the
drive's "Maximum Concurrent Jobs" setting.
Example:
Storage {
Name = Neo4100
Address = ....
SDPort = 9103
Password = "wiped"
Device = Neo4100
Media Type = LTO4
Autochanger = yes
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 3
}
Storage {
Name = Neo4100-LTO4-D1
Address = ....
SDPort = 9103
Password = "wiped"
Device = ULTRIUM-TD4-D1
Media Type = LTO4
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 1
}
[2 more drives]
The "Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 1" directive in the drive's section is
ignored.
