Are there any known issues with using bacula with centos 4.2?
How about a recipe of some kind?
Thanks in advance!
dnk
it works without any problems. I use Karinbir Singh's repo. Install and use as usual.

I've used it without any problems. I've built my own RPM packages from SRPM. Didn't quite liked the prebuilt ones. Changes include running director and storage daemon as non-priviledged users, removing real passwords from configuration files, resolved conflict with system provided mtx package. Maybe there were some other small stuff. And I'm usually faster to build my own RPMs when new versions are out, then waiting for them to appear on Bacula's download site.
Is anyone using a Quantum tape drive with CentOS 4.2?
Will the OS create /dev/nst0 and /dev/sga and /dev/sgb automatically? They do not appear on my install.
I am liking CentOS a lot and I am installing it on all our Linux computers. This is the only thing so far that is giving me problems.
Thanks in advance.

To answer your previous question - Bacula works fine on CentOS. I am using it (compiled from source, had no problems) with hard disk storage (not tape), but it shouldn't make any difference.

Do lsmod and see what modules are loaded.
Depending what you need/want, issue:
modprobe st modprobe sg
Check dmesg output, and see if tape got detected.
Is it SCSI tape, btw? What controller (if it is SCSI) are you using, on what machine?
If using cciss (HP Proliant DL3[68]0 G4 series, for example) on SmartArray 6i, you'll need to issue something like:
echo "engage scsi" > /proc/driver/cciss/cciss0
In order for drive to be detected. st module will be loaded automatically (if I remember correctly) after this command.

I lost a bit of nerves few days ago trying to make HP DAT72x6 Autoloader visible to CentOS. But my problem was HP SCSI controller and command that I had to issue (mentioned above :).
Other than that, I had no troubles with tape drives on Linux.
Good luck :)
