Re: [Bacula-users] accessing 2nd drive

From your original post:

----

Device "Drive1" (/dev/st0) is mounted with:

....

Slot 17 is loaded in drive 0.

Total Bytes Read=0 Blocks Read=0 Bytes/block=0

Positioned at File=0 Block=0

Device "Drive2" (/dev/st1) is not open.

Slot 17 is loaded in drive 0.

----

This is only an educated guess since I don't have a multi-drive autochanger...

But in the cut above it looks like both the drives are addressed like "0".

AFAIK, the last parameter to mtx-changer (%d) should idicate the drive-index.

Have a look at "Drive Index = n" in the manual cuts below. Maybe it helps?

Autochanger {
Name = "Autochanger"
Device = Drive-1, Drive-2
Changer Device = /dev/sg0
Changer Command = "/etc/bacula/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
}
Device {
Name = Drive-1
Drive Index = 0
Media Type = DDS-4
Archive Device = /dev/nst0 # Normal archive device
Autochanger = yes
LabelMedia = no;
AutomaticMount = yes;
AlwaysOpen = yes;
}
Device {
Name = Drive-2
Drive Index = 1
Media Type = DDS-4
Archive Device = /dev/nst1 # Normal archive device
Autochanger = yes
LabelMedia = no;
AutomaticMount = yes;
AlwaysOpen = yes;
}

Am also receiving these messages? Odd that Drive1 auto loads but Drive2 does not.

Subject: [Bacula-users] accessing 2nd drive

I have a autoloader that has two drives in it. For some reason, Drive1 is only being utilized and jobs are being backlogged in the que without taking advantage of the other drives. Any ideas why this might be? I?ve included info from bconsole and bacula-sd.conf.

Thanks!
