Hi folks, I'm experiencing a weird issue with one of our bacula servers (9.6.5 on ubuntu 18.04 compiled from source).
Most of the backups work just fine, however for one client they fail / hang consistently as bacula fails to complete purging of a volume from the pool (I use separate storages & pools for fulls and incrementals, both disk-based). I'm seeing this message in bconsole under these circumstances: 08-Jan 07:13 director-dir JobId 3988: Purging oldest volume "clientXXX-0284" 08-Jan 07:18 director-dir JobId 3988: Purging oldest volume "clientXXX-0284" 08-Jan 07:23 director-dir JobId 3988: Purging oldest volume "clientXXX-0284" 08-Jan 07:28 director-dir JobId 3988: Purging oldest volume "clientXXX-0284" 08-Jan 07:33 director-dir JobId 3988: Purging oldest volume "clientXXX-0284" 08-Jan 07:38 director-dir JobId 3988: Purging oldest volume "clientXXX-0284" 08-Jan 07:43 director-dir JobId 3988: Purging oldest volume "clientXXX-0284" 08-Jan 07:48 director-dir JobId 3988: Purging oldest volume "clientXXX-0284" 08-Jan 07:53 director-dir JobId 3988: Purging oldest volume "clientXXX-0284" 08-Jan 07:58 director-dir JobId 3988: Purging oldest volume "clientXXX-0284" 08-Jan 08:03 director-dir JobId 3988: Purging oldest volume "clientXXX-0284" 08-Jan 08:08 director-dir JobId 3988: Purging oldest volume "clientXXX-0284" 08-Jan 08:13 director-dir JobId 3988: Purging oldest volume "clientXXX-0284" 08-Jan 08:18 director-dir JobId 3988: Purging oldest volume "clientXXX-0284" 08-Jan 08:23 director-dir JobId 3988: Purging oldest volume "clientXXX-0284" 08-Jan 08:28 director-dir JobId 3988: Purging oldest volume "clientXXX-0284" 08-Jan 08:33 director-dir JobId 3988: Purging oldest volume "clientXXX-0284" 08-Jan 08:38 director-dir JobId 3988: Purging oldest volume "clientXXX-0284" 08-Jan 08:43 director-dir JobId 3988: Purging oldest volume "clientXXX-0284" 08-Jan 08:48 director-dir JobId 3988: Purging oldest volume "clientXXX-0284" 08-Jan 08:53 director-dir JobId 3988: Purging oldest volume "clientXXX-0284" 08-Jan 08:58 director-dir JobId 3988: Purging oldest volume "clientXXX-0284" 08-Jan 09:03 director-dir JobId 3988: Purging oldest volume "clientXXX-0284" 08-Jan 09:08 director-dir JobId 3988: Purging oldest volume "clientXXX-0284" The volume isn't too big and purging it manually takes only a few seconds. When looking at the pool at the time of the hang, the volume status is still shown as "used" for the volume that's being purged. Once I manually purge the volume in bconsole that bacula is waiting for and mount the storage manually, the backup job continues & finishes normally. DB backend is 10.1.47-MariaDB-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 Ubuntu 18.04. I'd be most grateful for any ideas on what could be causing this as all other backups (about 50 clients or so, all of them disk-based) work without issues; the same can be said for our other bacula instances (about 500 clients in total with 3 active directors). Thanks much in advance for your help & all the best, Uwe -- Uwe Schürkamp | email: <uwe.schuerk...@nionex.net> Arvato Systems S4M GmbH | Sitz Köln | Amtsgericht Köln HRB 27038 Geschäftsführer: Ralf Schürmann | Dr. Manfred Heinen _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
