It has only recently started becoming an issue because we are seeing people doing this and, for example, are using the `find` command in a dynamic FileSet to traverse larger and larger filesystems in HPC environments. Due to exploding data growth, their scripts (like yours), or their find commands in their dynamic FileSets are starting to take longer and longer and this issue has surfaced. If I remember correctly, what is happening is that the SD times out waiting for the FD, and gives up. By the time the FD starts to send data, the job is not running on the SD, hence the `Bad storage` response. I am pretty sure some work to mitigate this is already in progress - at least I know it has been discussed recently. :) Best regards, Bill -- Bill Arlofski w...@protonmail.com _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
