Hello, I am not sure if this is a bug or part of the design hence raising it here first.
I have two jobs which start on day x, y and z 0300 job name1 priority a (high) 0605 job name2 priority b (low) Job name1 overruns onto day y. Job name2 is still waiting for the higher priority job name1 to finish. The SD had not finished despooling job name1 to tape by 0300 on day y when job name1 is due to start off again. I would have expected the jobs to have run in the following order irrespective of overruns. job name1 priority a time t day x wait for higher priority job name2 priority b time t+3hrs day x wait for already running lower priority or lower priority of a previous time job name1 priority a time t day y wait for higher priority job name2 priority b time t+3hrs day y The problem is they do not, they run in the following order job name1 (id=205) priority a day x waits for job name1 of day x to finish then runs job name1 (id=220) priority a day y job name2 (id=211) priority b day x job name2 (id=226) priority b day y Is this a bug? Looking at the times, day y (the 12th) has not started to run any jobs until id=205 of the 11th has despooled to tape, which I would expect, except, I would have expected the next job of day x (the 11th) to have run before any of day y (the 12th). I have read and understood the priority section at http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Configuring_Director.html which does not mention this kind of thing. status dir below shows what I mean. status dir <snip> Running Jobs: Console connected at 10-Oct-07 09:48 JobId Level Name Status ====================================================================== 211 Increme BackupCatalog.2007-10-11_06.05.00 is waiting for higher priority jobs to finish 220 Full windows-backup.2007-10-12_03.00.01 is running 226 Increme BackupCatalog.2007-10-12_06.05.00 is waiting execution ==== Terminated Jobs: JobId Level Files Bytes Status Finished Name ==================================================================== 218 Cata 10,709 1.326 G Diffs 11-Oct-07 12:04 wagner-verify 215 Cata 21,859 971.4 M Diffs 11-Oct-07 12:06 fileserver-verify 213 Cata 110 0 Cancel 11-Oct-07 20:06 windows-verify 205 Full 136 192.9 G OK 12-Oct-07 05:14 windows-backup 219 Incr 35 16.26 M OK 12-Oct-07 05:19 backupserver-backup 223 Incr 2,972 3.383 M OK 12-Oct-07 05:20 orion-backup 224 Incr 3,039 102.4 M OK 12-Oct-07 05:21 phobos-backup 221 Incr 64 186.8 M OK 12-Oct-07 05:21 carcosa-backup 225 Incr 1,755 98.43 M OK 12-Oct-07 05:24 wagner-backup 222 Incr 65,376 5.016 G OK 12-Oct-07 05:42 fileserver-backup ==== I hope I have not explained something simple in a complicated way.
