It is recommended that you use bar code labels on your autochanger if
you have a changer with a barcode reader. I have seen reports of users
working without barcodes in the past however I can not help with that.
I have no experience with that type of setup.

I have no experience with that type of setup.

I am using a tape library with FreeBSD and Bacula 5.0.3

Getting the library working can be tricky with respect to permissions.

If I recall correctly, if you do not have a barcode reader, you must supply the
list of volume names in a file, which is then used instead of the barcode reader.

The details do not come to mind immediately.

Has this ever worked for you before?

I'll wait your answers before proceeding.

I use mtx-changer and in there you will find the list command (around line 171).

This uses the mtx status command to get the list of tapes.

Try that command manually. f that doesn't work for you from the command line, you've got to find another way to get the list of volumes from the tape library.

He mailed the output of mtx status way up the thread, and it seems to me,
that he does not use barcodes.
Is mtx-changer supposed to work w/o barcodes anyway?

It can, if you provide the labels via a file… I've read about it in the script, if I recall correctly.

Given that your tapes do not have barcodes, this output is expected. There is no way for
Bacula to know the labels without barcodes.

That said, I do recall some mechanism for manually creating a file which contains the labels…

I do not recall where I saw that reference..

Yeah, I've been using 5.0.2 without barcodes on one of my installs
without problems. Do you get the same output if you run 'update slots
scan' from bconsole? What happens if you try and manually update the
slot from bconsole - 'update' then choose Volume Parameters and then Slot?

--jim


Yes. It works correctly on the old server with 5.0.2 version.

Thanks Dan, i will keep that in mind. Sorry for the inconvenience.

This is my updateslots.sh script:


echo 'update slots=1-24 storage=cinta scan' | /sbin/bconsole -c /etc/bacula/bconsole.conf


This script works without problems in previous versión. 


Anyway, for reasons unknown (i suspect machine reboot) now it works. Updteslots job is placed to work on friday and when i see it was working and updating the slots i cant belive it. Im repeating the tests now, launching again the script and trying to understand why is working now. 


Im totally confused....
