Hi Kern -- I'm unsure what to do; the bug has been marked closed, and I'm reluctant to reopen it just to attach files. If it's a hardware problem, it's a hardware problem -- however, what confuses me is why the child process appears to be hanging at the place it is. I'd like to ask what you think about Eric's suggestion re: the LOG_NOWAIT option for openlog() (instead of just calling syslog() directly). Near as I can tell, Bacula isn't using either syslog() or openlog(), except in the signal_handler() routine in libs/signal.c. Does that mean that closelog() should be avoided, or is this just something that all forked processes should do? I did get these problems when I was using tapeinfo for the alert command, not just smartctl. As you say, that could indicate problems with the SCSI hardware. Again, thanks for your time, and I hope I'm not wasting more of it with these questions.
