Hi guys,

I use autocharger with 2 drive and i have noticed bareos can open 2 volume when we schedule multipe job at the time.

For some pool it's ok, but i need tu restricted for other ? I haven't find " Maximum Volume open" or other thking to doing that ?

Any idee ?

Regards

Chris

update :

When i use on my dir/storage, Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 4, bareos launch 4 job at the time on 2 drive.
But device (tapedrive1 and tapedrive2) was set at : Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 2.

For my VIrtualMachine-Full-Pool, i got 2 dedicated LTO-8 tape (2*12TB) with Maximum Volumes = 2 .
The idee behind is force bareos to use only one tape and when tis tape  was full, switch to the second.

I have found a trick : label the second as Used... But for 2 1st batch of jobs, bareos load the tape A00001L8 on the tapedrive1, and to the 2 2nd batch of jobs, bareos want use the 2nd drive (tapedrive2). The resulat was when 1st bastch was enend, he unmount the tape A00001L8 in tapedrive1and mount on tapedrive2... and block other job from other pool...
