Kern,
Thanks for you reply.
You're right, I didnt.
The thing is, i dont know how to do it.
Remember the thread "[Bacula-users] Cant mount a tape after
server reboot."?
Back then, When I typed the mount command, it did nothing.
I wrote «I think its logical why bacula doesnt load the tape: its because mount
command is not associated to a pool(a job is!), so bacula doesnt know
what tape to load.»
I didnt typed the mount command because i thought i would get the same
behavior from bacula.
Would it be diferent since bacula was waiting for the tape?
Thanks,
Jaime
