Sounds to me like the media are going bad or your drive is dirty. Clean
your drive and possibly try a brand new tape.

Probably not. I have had the same experience with brand new tapes and a cleaned 
tape drive. See thread: When is a tape "Full"?).


My last hypothesis is that it is due to using h/w compression. After I've 
changed back to s/w compression I have not seen this phenomenon. When that said, 
my tape device is DSS-4 from Seagate (Certance) and no tape changer, sp it could

Suddenly, Bacula has started marking tapes as 'Full' when only a few

Having used Bacula for a while, I know these tapes hold much more data

These are previously used Bacula tapes which have had the index erased

problem with this. In my syslog file I see:

I can see that the drive doesn't like the tapes but am not sure why it

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula marking tapes Full with only a few GB written

[Deann Corum]

That was one thing I did think of and I did put in a cleaning tape and 
ran it through. Will see if that clears it up.
I have trouble believing that 3-4 tapes were bad or corrupt all at once 
so not sure that's the problem but I suppose stranger things have happened.

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula marking tapes Full with only a few GB written

[Ryan Novosielski]

Well, if they are all the same age and have been written to roughly an 
equal number of times, that might be a possibility. I have had a few go at 
around the same time (not simultaneously, but within a week or so of each 
other).


I would have a little bit of trouble believing that HW compression is the 
cause either, considering IIRC you said this is a setup that was working 
for awhile with no changes (unless the tape drive is just on its way out 
and is having trouble doing compression -- not a failure mode in my 
experience anyway).

I have a weird problem. I'm trying to restore some files from a tape 
backup taken a few months ago.


The problem is that the files aren't on the tape. If I use the query 
command in bconsole to find out which tape has the files, it says the 
files are on tape GKN079. If I check the "last date written" field for 
tape GKN079 it says Dec. 23rd 2005. I can also confirm the files I'm 
trying to restored when backed up on dec. 18 and dec. 20.


Now when I use the bls command to list the different jobs contained on 
the tape, it stops at a job done on dec. 15. This is the last entry from 
my bls command:


JobId : 9417
VerNum: 11

bls: End of Volume at file 61 on device /dev/nst0, Volume "GKN079"
bls: End of all volumes.
End of physical tape.

What I'm wondering is where are the jobs that were done between dec. 15, 
2005 and dec. 23, 2005?


I've also used the bls command to list the files on tape and the last 
file on tape dates back to dec. 15. Here's how bls end after listing my 
files:


End Session Record: VolSessionId=153 VolSessionTime=1134158972 
JobId=9417 DataLen=209

bls: Got EOF at file 61  on device /dev/nst0, Volume "GKN079"
bls: End of Volume at file 61 on device /dev/nst0, Volume "GKN079"
bls: End of all volumes.
Unknown Record: VolSessionId=0 VolSessionTime=0 JobId=0 DataLen=0
4417 files found.

What does unknown record mean?

Whether I look at the logs or on bconsole, no errors ever happened with 
the backups between dec. 15 and dec. 23. Everything indicates my backups 
should be on tape GKN079, but I don't see it on the tape. Is the tape 
dying? BTW I also tried reading the tape on a different drive, and I got 
the same result.


I suggest you post the output of running

select * from jobmedia where mediaid=xx;

from the bconsole sql command, where xx is the mediaid of GKN079.  Also, what
is the jobid of the job you are trying to restore?

__Martin



The jobid of the job in question is 9580. I've attached a file that
contains the output from the sql query. The problem starts from jobid 
9435. Every jobs after 8435 aren't available. One thing I noticed is 
that there's no start or end file number 61, it skips from 60 to 62. 
Could this be causing the problem? If so, how do I force bextract to 
skip fileid 61?

No, h/w vs. s/w compression is only indirectly involved.  It  changes
the  timing.  With  s/w  compression,  data flow to the tape drive is
slower.

As mentioned before, I see the same effect when changing the  timing:
running  the  SD on a low end system (400 MHz P II) makes the problem
go away reliably - with h/w compression on.

I am more and more convinced that this is a subtel  timing  issue  in
the SCSI tape driver layer.

[Bacula-users] Low backup throughput (High load average?)

[Ian Levesque]

Hi all,

I've been trying to optimize the backup speed of my bacula  
installation. My full backups, no spooling, max out at around 12-13MB/ 
s per client, where I think I should be seeing over 40MB/s. It  
doesn't appear to affect the speed of per-client backups when more  
than one client is running at a time. However, I've noticed that the  
server's load average while in operation is always above 1, and  
increases for each client it's backing up. So, if 3 clients are being  
backed-up, I see load averages of above 3 on the server (though CPU  
utilization is typically less than 50%). I'm not sure if this is  
normal, or is in any way affecting the speed I'm seeing...


I should note that network bandwidth tests between the server and  
clients typically reach full utilization (near 100MB/s) and the  
drives on the clients and backup server are both capable of over 50MB/s.


Server-Side
Bacula version: 1.38.6 on Fedora Core 3
Backup Server: Dual AMD MP 1900 w/ 3GB RAM on a gigabit link, Adaptec  
2940U2W SCSI

Tape library: ADIC Scalar 100 w/ three LTO-2 drives (using LTO-2 tapes)
Database: mysql, with indexes, running in a slightly modified 'huge'  
config on the backup server


Client-Side
Bacula version: 1.38.5 on Fedora Core 3
Typical client: Pentium IV 2.4Ghz, 1GB RAM on a gig link

Thanks for any advice,
Ian

   I am currently experiencing the same problem.  I have 3 different 
storage devices.  When I initiate a restore it always uses the default 
storage device specified in the restore job definition (in the 
bacula-dir.conf file) instead of automatically selecting the storage 
device the job was stored to.  It is possible to work around this by 
selecting the modify command before starting the restore job, but I 
shouldn't have to do that for every restore job.


I am currently using Bacula version 1.38.6.

Are you using compression on the fileset? SHA1 signatures?  That

There's no compression and we're using MD5 sigs, but thanks for the  
consideration. Here's a typical fileset:


FileSet {
  Name = "CRYSTAL_HOME"
  Include {
Options {
  signature = MD5

File = /home
  }
  Exclude {

Yes, possibly.  I can think of three reasons why 61 could be missing now:

- There was an error during that job.
- There is a bug in bacula that writes junk.
- It has been pruned.

It is interesting that to see other gaps too, e.g. 39.  From the numbering, it
looks like 39 might be from job 9410.  Did that job run?

Was the tape in the drive continuously for all of these jobs?  If not, maybe
the discontinuities occur at the point where the tape was reinserted?


>If so, how do I force bextract to 
> skip fileid 61?

Given the "Unknown Record" error, it might not be mpossible.  It could be
interesting to play with mt and dd to see what happens at various points on
the tape.  Each "file" should be readable using dd and the size should be
slightly larger than reported in the job output.  E.g. (parameters may need
adjusting):

mt rewind
mt fsf 38
dd if=/dev/nsa0 bs=64512 | wc -c   # size of file 38
dd if=/dev/nsa0 bs=64512 | wc -c   # size of file 39
dd if=/dev/nsa0 bs=64512 | wc -c   # size of file 40

mt rewind
mt fsf 60
dd if=/dev/nsa0 bs=64512 | wc -c   # size of file 60
dd if=/dev/nsa0 bs=64512 | wc -c   # size of file 61
dd if=/dev/nsa0 bs=64512 | wc -c   # size of file 62

There are at least two ways I can think of to cause Bacula to overwrite the 
current tape in the drive, both of which I *highly* discourage as it will 
almost surely result in lost data some day.  Both of these methods (one 
directive, one using bconsole) have been discussed many times on this list, 
and very recently George Lutz has posted a link to his site where he shows 
how to do GFS rotation, and he has posted a detailed email on why just 
yesterday.

[Bacula-users] Anyone know where I can find bacula-client 1.36.3 src rpm?

[Eric Peterson]

Hello,

I need to install bacula-fd on my CentOS 4.3 x86_64 clients so I was
hoping I could find a src rpm for 1.36.3 so I could build it for my
platform.

Anyone?

Thanks,
Eric

No, h/w vs. s/w compression is only indirectly involved.  It  changes
the  timing.  With  s/w  compression,  data flow to the tape drive is
slower.

As mentioned before, I see the same effect when changing the  timing:
running  the  SD on a low end system (400 MHz P II) makes the problem
go away reliably - with h/w compression on.

I am more and more convinced that this is a subtel  timing  issue  in
the SCSI tape driver layer.


Do you think it could be an overrun situation?

Since you have a multi-CPU server, what kind of CPU utilization is 50% (the
whole machine or one of the daemon processes)?

What about the CPU utilization on the client?

It is useful to check with /usr/bin/top.

Did you try using spooling?

Sorry, nothing. Not thinking clear enough. Late hours here. Should have been 
sleeping by now.

The client code is in with the rest.  I just built RPMs for CentOS 4.3, 
albeit, not x86_64.  I can send you the spec file that worked (I had to 
comment out stuff dealing with docs due to latex errors.

I've only ever seen bacula take advantage of one CPU; typically I see  
50% utilized on one CPU.





What about the CPU utilization on the client?



Around 10% or less, with backups running in the middle of the night.




It is useful to check with /usr/bin/top.



I have cacti running and it keeps excellent track of resources on the  
network during backups. But this is easily reproduced if you think I  
should procure more specific IO stats.





Did you try using spooling?



Yes, it puts an enormous load on the backup server; I'm not sure why.  
I do utilize spooling for incrementals, but I expect them to be  
slower (which they are).


Thanks,
Ian

[Bacula-users] Re: Anyone know where I can find bacula-client 1.36.3 src rpm?

[Eric Peterson]

Hi Joshua,

The spec file would be great.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "The client code is in with the
rest".  I couldn't find any 1.36.3 rpm files on the bacula sourceforge
site.  The link to the older files seems to be broken.  If I can't
find a src rpm I'll just grab the source, but I was hoping I wouldn't
have to go that far.  Although, it sounds like it may be easier just
to compile from source since you had spec file problems.

Thanks,
Eric
