Hello, unfortunately spooling didn't helped here, so may you just had a chance not getting errors in your case? A rule is that if it hapens once that means it could happen more. And here is what we've got in one of our tests:
--- enabled spooling (Maximum Job Spool Size = 500m) performed the same and AGAIN the first job I tested to restore ~44K files are missing: Files Expected: 348,120 Files Restored: 304,654 Another restore jobs is similar: Files Expected: 190,741 Files Restored: 154,016 The case is slightly different as this time there is NO other errors generated (like file with wrong size or the "Record header file index not equal"). --- As it shows spooling doesn't solve the problem of concurrent jobs. Regards. Monday, July 30, 2007, 11:03:56 AM: MWa> Hello, MWa> In my case spooling brought a remarkable improvement. Where as I had MWa> hundreds of errors on one restore I hardly see them now again with MWa> spooling in place. MWa> Doytchin, MWa> I also saw the same behavior like you did. With the concurrent jobs = 1, MWa> there were no errors. In this case no matter with or without spooling. MWa> Unfortunately setting the concurrent jobs = 1 is not an option in our MWa> environment. So my current setting is spooling = on and concurrent jobs MWa> = 5. MWa> With this settings, it looks like that the Linux systems (OpenSuse and MWa> red hat) are ok but Solaris still has problems. MWa> For example below is a restore I did on Friday. Of course I don't mind MWa> about the door files. But the difference between expected and restored MWa> files is ways to much. And even worse, I have no idea what happened to MWa> the missing files. I don't know if this has to do something with the MWa> restore errors we saw. This could also be something different. MWa> During the weekend I moved bacula to a new and separate server. It runs MWa> on OpenSuse 10.2 with the latest patches in place now. The few restore MWa> jobs I've done so far with this went ok. MWa> All in all I still don't feel very comfortable with this, it needs more MWa> tests to be done. I will continue with testing and keep you updated.
