Hello Martin,

Yes, correct Bacula (and Bacula Systems) does not yet release source code because we have a patent pending on the technique. Working with the USPTO on this particular patent is very frustrating.  We are also working with the EU patent reviewers, and though it takes time, the process is moving forward nicely (I hope).

I will talk to the package builder to see if he (or possibly the QA department) can test and possibly fix the binaries.

Best regards,

Kern

I can see why Bacula Systems don't make the SOURCE available yet, but shipping
a useless binary package is probably not what they intended so you should ask
them about it.

Hi,

All my servers are install with the Bacula Community packages from repo :
baseurl=http://bacula.org/packages/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/rpms/9.4.4/el7/x86_64

bacula-aligned.x86_64                9.4.4-1.el7 @Bacula-Community
bacula-libs.x86_64                   9.4.4-1.el7 @Bacula-Community
bacula-postgresql.x86_64             9.4.4-1.el7 @Bacula-Community
--
/opt/bacula/plugins/
-rwxr-x---. 1 root bacula  7776 Jun 25 10:41
bacula-sd-aligned-driver-9.4.4.so
--
And in my conf sd :
Storage {                             # definition of myself
    Name = xxxx-sd
    SDPort = 9103                  # Director's port
    WorkingDirectory = "/opt/bacula/working"
    Pid Directory = "/opt/bacula/working"
### NEW 9.0.8
    Plugin Directory = "/opt/bacula/plugins"
###

I just notice that the community version still does not have this
feature ( Aligned Volume ).

https://www.bacula.org/bacula-binary-package-download/
"and Bacula Systems has been advised that the source should not be made
available until the patent is granted."

Thanks. and let us know when it is available.

The open source code contains a null aligned driver, but if your
/opt/bacula/plugins/bacula-sd-aligned-driver-9.4.4.so was installed from the
Bacula Community packages then you will have to ask Bacula Systems about it
(https://www.bacula.org/bacula-binary-package-download/).

Hi,

I'm sure the aligned volume works in July 2018 for my test ( with older
version than 9.4.4 ).

I remenber i have 2 files generate for the "tape" ( Test001 and
Test001.add  ).

But not today.

The Plugin is still avalaible with the Bacula 9.4.4 ??

I just installed Bacula 9.44 Community and am backing up to a ZFS
drive. It works fine with a regular setup.

If I switch to using the Aligned device type then I get the error
below. I switched back to a regular setup but would like to use
deduplication since it would save me a lot of space because my full
backups are 5 TB but most of the files are not changing between ful
backups.

My OS is latest Centos 7. I installed Bacula from the Bacula 9.4.4
repo. It appeared to install the plugin successfuly. Yum shows it as
installed. It seems like Bacula is finding it since it lists the
correct path to the plugin.

I set up Bacula for deduplication using the directions at
http://www.bacula.lat/block-level-deduplication-with-aligned-volumes-tutorial-bacula-7-9-9-0-and-above/?lang=en.
See my device entry quoted further down below.

I ran a few programs on the plugin to show the symbols but they do not
show BaculaSDdriver in the plugin. I do not really know what I am
doing with that. I also looked at the plugin itself for text with this
value but did not see it.

I saw a post (wsee below) where someone has the same problem with
9.4.3. I could not figure out how to reply to that post since I just
joined the bacula-users list today.

Any idea how to fix this problem or if it is a bug?

Thanks,
Joe
