I just switched to FC5 too, only I did not change my bacula version at the same time. The problem shows up on FC5 with 1.38.5 too. And to answer the question Kern raised about old mysql versions or old RPM--I installed FC5 from scratch (i.e. I didn't upgrade, I reinstalled, wiping every system partition), and I rebuilt the bacula RPMs from the source RPM after I upgraded. >> However, restarting the bacula DIR *does* solve the problem, for one >> day or so - I can run my backups manually, but the next scheduled run >> will fail with the same errors. > > For the gone away problem does the FAQ help? > > http://paramount.ind.wpi.edu/wiki/doku.php?id=faq > > MySQL Server Has Gone Away > I'm guessing that Dan's suggestion is right on target. The wait_timeout is 8 hours, I'm guessing that bacula (in my config) doesn't issue queries that often (I do backups between 3AM-7AM), and for some reason with mysql 5 the connection gets dropped after a timeout. I've changed my wait timeout to 36 hours to see if the problem goes away (in /etc/my.cnf). Perhaps someone else who understands mysql better than I can find out why the connection didn't used to timeout (at least with mysql 4) -se -- -se Steve Ellis ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
