Hi!

I have set up bacula with automatic labelling of volumes:

In bacula-dir.conf:
Storage {
  Name = File
  Address = bacula
  SDPort = 9103
  Password = "...."
  Device = FileStorage
  Media Type = File
}

Pool {
  Name = File
  Pool Type = Backup
  Recycle = yes
  recycle Volumes
  AutoPrune = yes
  Volume Retention = 10 days
  Maximum Volume Bytes = 4G
  Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
  Maximum Volumes = 100
  LabelFormat = "T${JobName}"
}

In bacula-sd.conf:
Device {
  Name = FileStorage
  Media Type = File
  Archive Device = /srv/bacula
  LabelMedia = yes;
  Random Access = Yes;
  AutomaticMount = yes;
  RemovableMedia = no;
  AlwaysOpen = no;
}

Automatic creation of volumes then labelling them fails. Bacula
hangs waiting for operator intervention --- this is not what I
expected it to do. I'd like to have:

- Start a job,
- look for an empty volume, if none there, create one, than label it
- push it into the pool, mount it.
- backup the jobs data.
- after finishing keep the volume with this one job arround
- delete it when retention time has come and there is
  not enough space for a new volume.

After reading the fine manual , goggling around, not finding
anything helpful: does anyone have a setup doing what I expect mine
to do, running and is willing to share?

I'd appreciate any help!
