To: John Drescher <drescherjm AT gmail DOT com>


John,
that is the confusing part(see bold)

Device "Drive_0" (/dev/nst0) open but no Bacula volume is currently mounted.
    Device is BLOCKED waiting for mount of volume "VARCD003", <-waiting for tape
       Pool:        ArcD
       Media type:  LTO5
    Slot 4 is loaded in drive 0. <- It's telling  me it's loaded
I know the write protect is not on as the tape was written to
previously on the last archive run.
I know bacula 'knows' about the tape because it was used previously
about a month ago.

Anyway as I have labelled all devices upto about VARCD007 I would
expect bacula at the very least to
a) offer to label the tape because the barcode calls it VARCD003.
b) tell me which tape is in fact loaded.
Confusing to say the least.

I suppose really is there a way to tell bacula that this is in fact
the correct tape and carry on?

Cheers
Chris

sorry I should have been a bit more specific,

the tape is mounted, both bacula and mtx thinks it's mounted. Bacula
doesn't think the tape is a bacula archive(it is).



I am not sure about bacula thinking the volume is mounted when the sd
says it is not mounted however could the write protect be on?
