 just adding that line to the script prevents director from starting at all :

 Fatal Python error: Interpreter not initialized (version mismatch?)
 
 That looks like a python problem... or something related to the way 
 python is embedded into Bacula. You should consider a bug report at 
 bugs.bacula.org, and point out that this might be a configure or 
 linking problem, or even one of finding the right python module path.

done as http://bugs.bacula.org/view.php?id=998

 actually, i would prefer to error out in such a case - if volume exists, 
 something's broken.
 
 Well, relying onto the number of volumes in a pool is not safe, for 
 example. Imagine you have volumes V1, V2, V4 in a pool and label with 
 'V'+number. The next volume will be the fourth one, so you'd end up 
 with V4 a second time.

oh, no, i am using single volume (file) per job, and each is named with 
date-hour-minute.

if the same job is executed twice in a single minite (especially as i 
have only one concurrent job configured), something's not right :)

 As this can happen easily when you delete volumes, precautions are 
 important.
 
 looking over the example, i could not find a way to cancel the job - how 
 would i do that ?
 
 I don't know - perhaps return the null value from the method. You'll 
 have to try :-)

nope, returning 0 still allows to proceed :)

 immediately if the write() system call fails to write the requested 
 number of bytes. However, btape should be issuing a Write failed at 
 block  message if the write fails. That error message contains an error 
 string corresponding to the errno that was set when the write() failed, 
 which could be helpful. Christopher Litauer's initial message does not 
 include such an error message after the Begin writing raw blocks of  
 message, so I don't know if he just didn't include it or if the only 
 messages he saw were the bad page state syslog messages. If there was 
 no Write failed at block message, then the write() system call never 
 returned, in which case it is a real mystery (to me) as to how tar can 
 possibly work with the same block size.

No, there definitly is no such message after Begin writing raw blocks,
just one or two '+', nothing more, just the kernel panic messages in
/var/log/message

[Bacula-users] problems when not running director as root

[Rich]

it seems there are some problems if director is not run as root.
using bacula 2.2.5 on slackware 12.

1. important environment variables are not set
if bacula is configured and compiled with --with-dir-user and 
--with-dir-group, director is started with correct -u parameter, and 
runs as the correct user - but environment variable HOME is not set to 
user home, it is set to /root.
obviously, make_catalog_backup can't access /root/.my.cnf, and it also 
doesn't know anything about the correct location for .my.cnf.

this way it is not possible to use (without modifying scripts 
themselves) suggestion from 
http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Catalog_Maintenance.html#SECTION002413

this might also apply to other daemons.

would this qualify as a valid bug report ?

2. emails are not sent in default configuration
if bacula is configured and compiled with --with-dir-user and 
--with-dir-group, /sbin/bsmtp is still owned by root.root, and it's 
permissions are set to rwxr-xr--.

this prevents director from sending out mails in the default configuration.

maybe it would be better (if user and group are set when compiling) to 
make permissions 755 or set owning group to one the director is using ?

would this qualify as a valid bug report ?

[Bacula-users] bacula 2.2.5: some job never finish

[lise machetel]

I use bacula 2.2.5 on a debian Etch server (recent update).
clients are debian Etch or sarge with same version of bacula client
MySql server is used - version 5.0 (Etch stable package)

I had no error during the compilation.

during backup, under bconsole, if I do a status dir, I can see that the 
status of the client is is in unknow state
if I do a status client=name-of-this-client, the client answer that there is no 
job running, and that the job finished successfully.
under a shell, I can see that MySql take 99% of the cpu
and a nestat -an show:
tcp0  0 192.168.200.19:9101 192.168.200.19:43174ESTABLISHED
tcp0  0 192.168.200.19:43174192.168.200.19:9101 ESTABLISHED
tcp0  0 192.168.200.19:49926192.168.200.19:9103 TIME_WAIT
tcp9  0 192.168.200.19:41945192.168.200.19:9103 CLOSE_WAIT
tcp0  0 192.168.200.19:56060192.168.200.215:9102TIME_WAIT
tcp1  0 192.168.200.19:55688192.168.200.215:9102CLOSE_WAIT

some times, the job finish, and some times the job stay like this (with the cpu 
in use).  I tried to let it like this, to see if the job will finish - but It 
can stay like this during one day without terminate anything.
If I try to cancel the job, it doesn't work either (job stay with the cancel 
state and mysql still use 99% of the cpu)
When it is like this, I have to stop bacula and restart mysql to have a chance 
to do something later.

It doesn't happens always with the same client - so I think I have an issue 
with the server - but I really don't know what.
I checked the mysql database (repair command), and I have no issue with the 
databases (mysql or bacula).

on this bacula server, I backup 50 clients, it takes 1 To and backup used to 
finish during the night. Because of this strange new behavior, it doesn't work 
anymore like this.

any ideas ?
thanks

 Bacula and

 However,
  setting up a second client is giving me troubles.
 
  I've followed the section in the Brief Tutorial entitled Adding a
  Second Client which entails simply copying the bacula-fd
 binary and
  bacula-fd.conf file from the bacula director machine to the
 client that
  I want to back up. I've changed the name of the machine from the
  director to my client in the bacula-fd.conf file as instructed
 in that

 from the
  director machine's bconsole, it cannot connect (mi01.fusion is

[Bacula-users] Encryption and compression

[Eric Böse-Wolf]

I did a few test and maybe someone is interested in the results.

I did a backup of the linux kernel documentation, quite a lot of
text (du -sh . gives 22M in the directory), under different
conditions, each of those backups I wrote to a new file volume and
here are the sizes of the file volumes:

Keylength   Compression(GZIP)  Resulting Mediasize (Bytes)
noneno 17299177
noneyes 6638157
1024no 18840845
2048no 19751779
4096no 21519151
1024yes 8179802
2048yes 9091106
4096yes10858478

If you compress and you have a damaged tape, you will lose more date as
if you did not use compression, but for encryption the tape is wothless
with only a single failure to, so I think if you use encryption you can
also use compression, if you have the CPU power for it. (The time a
backup needed increased significantly with the keylength, but I did not
measure exact times here.)

Yours sincerely,

Eric Böse-Wolf

[Bacula-users] Bacula and Day saving time

[Marek Simon]

Hi all,
I have my bacula (1.38.11) set up to start certain Job on Sunday 2:05. 
On 28th October the Daylight saving time was ended and time between 2am 
and 3am has repeated (like in Red Dwarf :-) ). The backup has started 
twice (and the second run has stuck waiting for a volume). What would 
happen on first day of daylight saving time, when time between 2 and 3 
am is skipped?

Are you certain that the DST dates did not move in your area? I'm not
sure which zones expanded DST and which did not. I realize that is not
your question, but it is something I wanted to mention, since my
timezone does not switch until Nov 4th.

That said, I'd expect Bacula will skip the backup, given its behavior in
this case. One way to solve this problem, I guess, would be to never
start backups between 2 and 3 AM.

[Bacula-users] Hanging after starting job and executing status

[Johan van Vliet]

Hi,

I run a small site with 3 clients. Client 3 also trippled as director and 
storage. Like this:

[CLIENT1]--+
   +--[INTERNET]--[CLIENT3/DIR/STORAGE]
[CLIENT2]--+


Client 1 and client 2 are Slackware Linux and client 3 is FreeBSD.

Because I ren out of diskspace I moved the storage to another (4th 
machine; also FreeBSD). I also (stupid I know) upgraded from 2.2.4 to 
2.2.5: 

[CLIENT1]--+
   +--[INTERNET]--[CLIENT3/DIR]--[STORAGE] 
[CLIENT2]--+

Bacause I've only one public IP address I also installed portfwd on client 3 
to forward 9103 from client 3 to storage.

Sofar so good.

As a first test I backup'd client 3. This worked.! Then I tried to backup 
client 1 and it stopped half way on /dev/cciss/c0...something Second 
attempt it stopped one another file. etc. 

So I tried the client 2. Same result. 

Long story short; I can reproduce the hanging when I run a backup of the 
remote clients (1 or 2) and then type status storage in bconsole. Like 
this:
*run
A job name must be specified.
The defined Job resources are:
 1: client1-job
 2: client2-job
 3: client3-job
 4: BackupCatalog
 5: RestoreFiles
Select Job resource (1-5): 3
Run Backup job
JobName:  client2-job
Level:Incremental
Client:   client2-fd
FileSet:  client2 Set
Pool: Default (From Job resource)
Storage:  File (From Job resource)
When: 2007-10-30 13:24:01
Priority: 15
OK to run? (yes/mod/no): yes
Job queued. JobId=16

Note the messages here show me that the backup is starting. Also I can see 
it status running in te jobs list; as soon as I type:

*status storage
Automatically selected Storage: File
Connecting to Storage daemon File at client3:9103

it hangs and and doesn't return to the * prompt.

The bacula-fd -f -d100 -c config and bacula-sd -f -d100 -c config 
show output until the status restore.

The only way to get the prompt back is by killing the bacula-sd.

Any insights are welcome about what can cause this.

[Bacula-users] Bacula Administration Console

[Augusto Lima]

I'm using BAT to handle my backup routine every day. But it has some weird 
things that i think could be changed.
 
   First, there are anyway to change that behavior of showing a selection 
window to choose the item as a result of a command? Example, typing 'status' at 
BAT console shows a Selection Dialog to choose which option I want. Instead, i 
would prefer the normal behavior of showing the list with the options which I 
could just type a number. Its faster and more confortable to just stick at the 
keyboard and don't have do get the mouse to choose(i know i could still use the 
keyboard, but i would have to press 'TAB' and the arrows a couple of times).
   Second, at the JobPlot window, it could be more human readable numbers 
at the bytes axis, for me, its showing that the last backup it saved almost 
2.5e+07 bytes, not so easy to read. 
I didnt realize how to change this settings, does anybody know how?
 
Thank you very much for the attention

Hi folks,

Anyone out there using IBM TS3200 without installing the lin_taped device
drivers?
If so, how do you map the devices to the tape changer and tape drive?

Cheers

On this front has anyone managed to get BAT compiled with RHEL4U4? Everytime I 
try it complains gnome isnt installed - which is odd since I'm running a shell 
within a gnome desktop! :-)

Re: [Bacula-users] Hanging after starting job and executing status

[Dep, Khushil (GE Money)]

Sound like something to do with the port forwarding to me. From shell on
client1 or client2 can you telnet to client3 on port 9103? If not
something screwey is going on with your port forwarding. You could alwas
turn on strace

Hi,

I run a small site with 3 clients. Client 3 also trippled as director
and storage. Like this:

[CLIENT1]--+
   +--[INTERNET]--[CLIENT3/DIR/STORAGE]
[CLIENT2]--+


Client 1 and client 2 are Slackware Linux and client 3 is FreeBSD.

Because I ren out of diskspace I moved the storage to another (4th
machine; also FreeBSD). I also (stupid I know) upgraded from 2.2.4 to
2.2.5: 

[CLIENT1]--+
   +--[INTERNET]--[CLIENT3/DIR]--[STORAGE]
[CLIENT2]--+

Bacause I've only one public IP address I also installed portfwd on
client 3 to forward 9103 from client 3 to storage.

Sofar so good.

As a first test I backup'd client 3. This worked.! Then I tried to
backup client 1 and it stopped half way on /dev/cciss/c0...something
Second attempt it stopped one another file. etc. 

So I tried the client 2. Same result. 

Long story short; I can reproduce the hanging when I run a backup of the

 Are you certain that the DST dates did not move in your area? I'm not
 sure which zones expanded DST and which did not. I realize that is not
 your question, but it is something I wanted to mention, since my
 timezone does not switch until Nov 4th.

 That said, I'd expect Bacula will skip the backup, given its behavior in
 this case. One way to solve this problem, I guess, would be to never
 start backups between 2 and 3 AM.


yup.

Daylight Savings time laws changed affective spring 2007 in the U.S. and 
Australia. I have no clue about the Czech Republic or others. There were 
patches to be applied according to your operating system. I applied 
Solaris 9 patches. Mac OS X and Windows systems got theirs by automatic 
updates. One of our labs had an older Sun OS 5.6 system for which there 
were no patches. After messing with it for a while, they finally punted 
and said it didn't really matter.

So, if you have a server that was not patched this year, and you are in 
a jurisdiction where it matters, it's worth checking into. It will bite 
you twice a year until you patch it.

I'll be checking all my crontabs to make sure I don't have anything 
between 2 and 3am that might be affected.

[Bacula-users] Determine backed-up filesize from MySQL query

[Flak Magnet]

When I go to do a file restore I can see that the filesize is indicated in 
bwx-console.  That tells me that somewhere that information is stored in the 
bacula catalog.

How is that filesize determined and how can I get that filesize using a sql 
query?

I want to tweak the List up to 20 places where a File is saved regardless of 
the directory query to show me the filesize.

Poking around in the catalog with a mysql-query-browser isn't helping me out 
so I'm apparently missing something and there are so many references to the 
filesize and mysql in the mailing list archives that searching is getting me 
nothing but false-leads and whether this has been discussed before.

 Australia. I have no clue about the Czech Republic or others. There were 
 patches to be applied according to your operating system. I applied 
 Solaris 9 patches. Mac OS X and Windows systems got theirs by automatic 
 updates. One of our labs had an older Sun OS 5.6 system for which there 
 were no patches. After messing with it for a while, they finally punted 
 and said it didn't really matter.
...

i don't think timezone changes was the question here :)

actual question would be - how does bacula actually handle these times.
i also had one job executed twice, but given that it's still 1.36, i 
didn't bother much.

so, is there some dst intelligence in latest versions of bacula ?
if not, maybe a comment, warning about this should be added to default 
configuration file schedules :)

38MB/s is only around 140GB/hr. i'd expect a bit more from LTO-4.

 I'd suggest cleaning the tape head anyway (how frequently do you do it ?),
 reformat the tape, and check again.

[Bacula-users] multiple copies

[Megan Kispert]

Hey All,

I tried to hunt through the mailling list archives, but I wasn't sure what 
to search for.  I currently have bacula 2.2.5 on my Centos 5 backup 
server.  I now have a requirement to have a copy of all backups both on an 
onsite and offsite server in addition to my backup server.  I must be 
able to do full system restores off of either of these servers without my 
original backup server.  I was wondering if there were any options 
available with bacula to maintain multiple databases with multiple 
backup copies?   Has anyone tried anything similar before?

 you can also add custom queries to the bconsole by editing this file:

 # cat /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf | grep QueryFile
QueryFile = /etc/bacula/scripts/query.sql
 

 How do you call the SQL statements from this?

When I go to do a file restore I can see that the filesize is indicated
in bwx-console.  That tells me that somewhere that information is stored
in the bacula catalog.

How is that filesize determined and how can I get that filesize using a
sql query?

I want to tweak the List up to 20 places where a File is saved
regardless of the directory query to show me the filesize.

Poking around in the catalog with a mysql-query-browser isn't helping me
out so I'm apparently missing something and there are so many references
to the filesize and mysql in the mailing list archives that searching is
getting me nothing but false-leads and whether this has been discussed
before.

[Bacula-users] Bacula using one drive in a Vchanger

[Elie Azar]

Hi,

we're using vchanger, but bacula never seems to use more than the first 
virtual drive, even though we have 10 defined in the storage Autochanger 
directive for it.  why won't bacula use drive1, drive2, etc.  It does at 
least look at these higher-numbered drives when the update slots command 
is used, so it's not a config problem in terms of defining the virtual 
drives within the autochanger.

Has anyone used an autochanger with multiple hard drives. Any help is 
greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Elie Azar

Re: [Bacula-users] Encryption and hardware compression

[Vladimir Doisan]

If you turn on FILE encryption - the data will be encrypted on the tape
and on the network.
If you turn on TLS encryption - the data will be encrypted on the
network but NOT on the tape.
If you turn both options on the essentially data will be encrypted
twice on the network and once on the tape.

I'm not sure what you mean by your statement below.
 For example what's with the connection cookie the director presents
 the [FS]D (don't know exactly)?

I don't believe bacula's volume reservation worked well with multiple 
drive autochangers before version 2.2.0. If you are using a pre-2.2.0 
release, then that is likely why bacula is not selecting another drive 
on the autochanger, even though it is loaded with a usable volume. For a 
single vchanger to be able to run multiple concurrent jobs (one on each 
virtual drive), you need bacula 2.2.0 or greater.

 Are you certain that the DST dates did not move in your area? I'm not
 sure which zones expanded DST and which did not. I realize that is not
 your question, but it is something I wanted to mention, since my
 timezone does not switch until Nov 4th.

 That said, I'd expect Bacula will skip the backup, given its behavior in
 this case. One way to solve this problem, I guess, would be to never
 start backups between 2 and 3 AM.

No, they weren't, but depending on where you live, there was no problem
this weekend. :)

How do other packages handle this? I believe cron is one of the more
intelligent programs when dealing with this. Perhaps anacron?

Re: [Bacula-users] Hanging after starting job and executing status

[Johan van Vliet]

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I now also suspect it is network related. The strange 
thing is that I also tried to restore a small file to the remote system and 
it worked fine. The tool I use (portfwd) has been used by me in other cases 
plenty of times with multi-gigabytes of transfered data.. Never had a 
problem. 

Without the -c in strace I get a lot of:
5784  syscall_383(0x809cf4c)= 0x17f
5784  syscall_383(0x809cf4c)= 0
5784  syscall_383(0x809cf4c)= 0
5784  syscall_383(0x809cf40)= 0
5784  syscall_383(0x809cf40)= 0
5784  syscall_383(0x809cf40)= 0
5784  syscall_383(0x809cf4c)= 0x17f

5784  syscall_383(0x809cf40)= 0
5784  syscall_383(0x809cf40)= 0

To be exact it hangs on:
5784  syscall_383(0x809cf40
for a couple of seconds and than repeats.

With the -c I get:

Which suggests to me that you are right about suspecting the forwarding; 
read is about 3/4 of the time.

I think I'll have to resort to a normal BSD style forwarding and see how 
that works out.

[Bacula-users] backing up to multiple hard disk drives with different available space on each

[pedro noticioso]

I have a single file server with 2x 512 GB hard
drives.

Ive been given a bunch of older hard drisk to backup
to:

1x 80 IDE GB
1x 100 IDE GB
2x 200 IDE GB
1x 320 IDE GB


Actual disk usage on the file server that I will
backup is only 200 GB but growing, and I would like to
set something up that may allow me to easilly add and
remove different size hard drives in the future.

In case a backup drive dies, Id like to turn off the
backup server, remove the dead one, install a new one,
boot, configure, and let bacula play with it.

My concern is on:
 letting bacula access any number of drives
 letting bacula know the size available on each
 making sure that volumes just span through all
available drives.

I noticed disk-changer script, but I googled for a
couple hours and found no documentation at all, so Ive
been wondering if someone here may have done something
like this already and may share an example

or, someone please confrim to me that this

http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Autochanger_Resource1.html#SECTION00322

is the right direction where I should go?

and some details, on my speciffic setup may help

oorrr!

is there a simpler way? I dont like complicating
things, I was hoping on 

Device = /disk1, /disk2, /disk3, /disk4, /disk5 

straight into the sd configuration ;)

thanks

 That said, I'd expect Bacula will skip the backup, given its behavior in
 this case. One way to solve this problem, I guess, would be to never
 start backups between 2 and 3 AM.
 yup.

Very reasonable, but IIRC a better solution was implemented in Bacula, 
probably since 2.0. I couldn't find this with a grep in ReleaseNotes, 
but I recall that being discussed a year or two ago on the mailing lists.

 so, is there some dst intelligence in latest versions of bacula ?
 if not, maybe a comment, warning about this should be added to default 
 configuration file schedules :)
 
 No, they weren't, but depending on where you live, there was no problem
 this weekend. :)

See above - I believe there is the necessary intelligence in Bacula.

Arno

 How do other packages handle this? I believe cron is one of the more
 intelligent programs when dealing with this. Perhaps anacron?

I don't see the errors you get. But I also see FAST-80 WIDE SCSI
160.0 MB/s mesages in my kernel log. The HP tool ltt reports U160
connections for both of my drives.  Altough the scsi controller's bios
claims during boot that the drives are connected with U320 and the
drives are capable of U320.

After boot I checked the scsi paramters and it looks like 6.25 would be
the correct value for U320. But the HP tool still shows that the
drives are connected with U160. 

/sys/class/spi_transport/target5\:0\:1/min_period 
6.25

Sorry for hijacking one half of your thread, but I would like to know
if anyone has seen a FAST-160 message in the kernel log with tape
drives.  Not that I could saturate a U160 connection, but I would like
to know why it's only connecting with U160 speed. An other LSI
controller which is used for a RAID devices shows the propper U320
(FAST-160) value during boot.

 you can also add custom queries to the bconsole by editing this file:

QueryFile = /etc/bacula/scripts/query.sql
 
 How do you call the SQL statements from this?

Using the query command from bconsole.

Restore jobs defined in bacula-dir.conf are normally used a templates

Try logging into bconsole and type Restore and follow the

Re: [Bacula-users] scsi problems

[Michael Galloway]

nothing is solved yet. i rebooted everything this morning to make sure the
scsi bus was cleared and reset. then i decided to try the individual btape
tests to see if i could isolate the issue. the fill test is running all day
still running:

16:23:27 Flush block, write EOF
Wrote blk_block=12325000, dev_blk_num=5000 VolBytes=795,110,335,488 
rate=38313.0 KB/s
Wrote blk_block=1233, dev_blk_num=1 VolBytes=795,432,895,488 
rate=38313.8 KB/s

i get the impression that the issue was with the read part of the btape test, i 
may
upgrade the mpt drivers for the LSI controller when this finishes as well. right
now they are version 3.x:

# cat /proc/mpt/version 
mptlinux-3.04.02
  Fusion MPT base driver
  Fusion MPT SPI host driver

and version 4.00.13.04-1-rhel5.x86_64 is available.

Re: [Bacula-users] multiple copies

[Michael Lewinger]

Sure, although I have not tried it myself. I suppose you could do better by
using a filesystem replicator as used on DRP instead of trying to make this
work on bacula. Cloning jobs would be spending twice the time required for a
single job, and be run sequentially (although they may be also run
concurrently).

1) Re: duplicate jobs, pp 135-136 of the PDF manual, referring to one of
the Job directives (run):

quote-
Run = job-name The Run directive (not to be confused with the Run
option in a Schedule) allows you to start other jobs or to clone jobs.
By using the cloning keywords (see below), you can backup the same
data (or almost the same data) to two or more drives at the same
time. The job-name is normally the same name as the current Job
resource (thus creating a clone). However, it may be any Job name,
so one job may start other related jobs.
136 CHAPTER 11. CONFIGURING THE DIRECTOR
The part after the equal sign must be enclosed in double quotes, and
can contain any string or set of options (overrides) that you can specify
when entering the Run command from the console. For example
storage=DDS-4  In addition, there are two special keywords
that permit you to clone the current job. They are level=%l and
since=%s. The %l in the level keyword permits entering the actual
level of the current job and the %s in the since keyword permits putting
the same time for comparison as used on the current job. Note, in the
case of the since keyword, the %s must be enclosed in double quotes,
and thus they must be preceded by a backslash since they are already
inside quotes. For example:
run = Nightly-backup level=%l since=\%s\ storage=DDS-4
A cloned job will not start additional clones, so it is not possible to
recurse.
---end of quote--

2) Duplicate catalog: standard SQL replication practices are probably better
but you can configure two catalogs on bacula (in this case the clone job
should use the other catalog). You won't need to use the BACULA DIRECTOR on
the secondary server, only the SD daemon and a mysql server. The cloned jobs
would be stored on the seconday bacula server, and the originating jobs on
the primary.

3) rcp your bacula conf files to the secondary server, just in case.

No solution except maybe filesystem replication would produce an exact copy.
Trying another method such as 1)  2) and 3) will produce maybe a very
similar result, certainly usable, but not identical. For instance, slight
differences in the copy time on the client will produce slightly different
file versions (except if you'll be using concurrent FD copies+snapshot).

Cheers,

Michael

 I tried to hunt through the mailling list archives, but I wasn't sure what
 to search for.  I currently have bacula 2.2.5 on my Centos 5 backup
 server.  I now have a requirement to have a copy of all backups both on an
 onsite and offsite server in addition to my backup server.  I must be
 able to do full system restores off of either of these servers without my
 original backup server.  I was wondering if there were any options
 available with bacula to maintain multiple databases with multiple
 backup copies?   Has anyone tried anything similar before?

Re: [Bacula-users] scsi problems

[Michael Lewinger]

Hi Michael,

This looks a bit like your problem; error 8 is quite common (google) but
only one link produced a valid answer that actually solved the problem. i
won't post the contents as it is quite embarrassing.

Pls keep updating.

   I don't see the errors you get. But I also see FAST-80 WIDE SCSI
   160.0 MB/s mesages in my kernel log. The HP tool ltt reports U160
   connections for both of my drives.  Altough the scsi controller's bios
   claims during boot that the drives are connected with U320 and the
   drives are capable of U320.
  
   After boot I checked the scsi paramters and it looks like 6.25 would
 be
   the correct value for U320. But the HP tool still shows that the
   drives are connected with U160.
  
   /sys/class/spi_transport/target5\:0\:1/min_period
   6.25
  
   Sorry for hijacking one half of your thread, but I would like to know
   if anyone has seen a FAST-160 message in the kernel log with tape
   drives.  Not that I could saturate a U160 connection, but I would like
   to know why it's only connecting with U160 speed. An other LSI
   controller which is used for a RAID devices shows the propper U320
   (FAST-160) value during boot.

Re: [Bacula-users] bacula 2.2.5: some job never finish

[Michael Lewinger]

Hi Lise,

If this is a recurrent problem, there may be a problem with the query,
maybe related to characters (I doubt) or accessing a problematic file
(maybe...). Check the mysql server with the SHOW PROCESSLIST
command, maybe the stuck query will show in the info field.

Cheers,

Michael

 I use bacula 2.2.5 on a debian Etch server (recent update).

 I had no error during the compilation.

 during backup, under bconsole, if I do a status dir, I can see that the 
 status of the client is is in unknow state
 if I do a status client=name-of-this-client, the client answer that there is 
 no job running, and that the job finished successfully.
 under a shell, I can see that MySql take 99% of the cpu
 and a nestat -an show:

 some times, the job finish, and some times the job stay like this (with the 
 cpu in use).  I tried to let it like this, to see if the job will finish - 
 but It can stay like this during one day without terminate anything.
 If I try to cancel the job, it doesn't work either (job stay with the 
 cancel state and mysql still use 99% of the cpu)
 When it is like this, I have to stop bacula and restart mysql to have a 
 chance to do something later.

 It doesn't happens always with the same client - so I think I have an issue 
 with the server - but I really don't know what.
 I checked the mysql database (repair command), and I have no issue with the 
 databases (mysql or bacula).

 on this bacula server, I backup 50 clients, it takes 1 To and backup used to 
 finish during the night. Because of this strange new behavior, it doesn't 
 work anymore like this.

 any ideas ?
 thanks

Re: [Bacula-users] scsi problems

:)

i may be off the mark, but not that far. i was able to write and read data
from the device, and the device reports itself as a scsi tape:

# mt -f /dev/st0 status
SCSI 2 tape drive:
File number=-1, block number=-1, partition=0.
Tape block size 0 bytes. Density code 0x0 (default).
Soft error count since last status=0
General status bits on (1):

[Bacula-users] bacula-fd hangs on ClientRunAfterJob

[Dane Miller]

Hi,

I added Client Run Before/After Job scripts to two backup jobs in
order to stop/start mysql.  But the After script seems to hang the
bacula-fd. Using 'status dir', the bacula console shows a terminated
status for these jobs, and the command 'list jobs' shows their status as
'R'.

The script being called is the FreeBSD rc script used to start/stop
mysql: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server [start|stop].  I've ensured that
this script works when run manually, and that it returns 0.

When I restart the offending bacula-fd's (kill doesn't work; requires
kill -9), the offending jobs finish with errors and the rest of my
queued jobs begin to run.

Any ideas what's causing this?  Suggestions for fixing it?

Hi Dane,

Is bacula running as root or bacula user ? bacula user cannot restart mysql.

Thanks Michael.  bacula-fd is running as root.  Also note that it *does*
stop and start mysql, but hangs after-wards (see the job output from my
o.p. below)

Re: [Bacula-users] backing up to multiple hard disk drives with different available space on each

[pedro noticioso]

At this interview:

http://www.linuxdevcenter.com/pub/a/linux/2005/04/07/bacula.html

one of Nathan Valentine's main objectives in bacula's
initial design, was to address an inability to span
multiple volumes in Amanda.

So!

What is a volume?
how can I asign/relate my hard drives to the concept
of volumes into the type of configuration that may
best fit my needs without complicating the process?
or is that very basic feature not (yet)
implemented/available/possible?

 Hello Pedro, bom dia.
 
 Bacula's volumes DO NOT span drives. I repeat. OK, I
 do not... Each drive
 needs to have its own device set up in storage,
 and separate volumes
 created on each one of them. On the other hand,
 maybe you can use the same
 pool for all your volumes, even if they are on
 different disks, and
 prepopulate the pool with volumes (label command).
 So a backup would
 effectively jump from one disk to the other.
 
 For some reason this volume and pool mixup sounds to
 me as the worst DRP
 solution one could find, except maybe for using Led
 Zeppelin audio tapes as
 backup media, and trying to retrieve data by
 listening to it on a tape
 player. I'd recommend not trying your idea on a 
 production server.
 
 Please update me if your setup works anyway. I do
 not have the time to setup
 a test environment on virtualbox.

  I have a single file server with 2x 512 GB hard

  Ive been given a bunch of older hard drisk to

  to:
 
  1x 80 IDE GB
  1x 100 IDE GB
  2x 200 IDE GB
  1x 320 IDE GB
 
 
  Actual disk usage on the file server that I will
  backup is only 200 GB but growing, and I would
 like to
  set something up that may allow me to easilly add

  In case a backup drive dies, Id like to turn off
 the
  backup server, remove the dead one, install a new
 one,
  boot, configure, and let bacula play with it.
 
  My concern is on:
  letting bacula access any number of drives
  letting bacula know the size available on each
  making sure that volumes just span through all
  available drives.
 
  I noticed disk-changer script, but I googled for a
  couple hours and found no documentation at all, so
 Ive
  been wondering if someone here may have done
 something
  like this already and may share an example
 
  or, someone please confrim to me that this

  is the right direction where I should go?
 
  and some details, on my speciffic setup may help
 
  oorrr!
 
  is there a simpler way? I dont like complicating
  things, I was hoping on
 
  Device = /disk1, /disk2, /disk3, /disk4, /disk5
 
  straight into the sd configuration ;)

Re: [Bacula-users] bacula-fd hangs on ClientRunAfterJob

[Dane Miller]

Interesting... I've been testing this manually and have more info.  When
bacula-fd is hung, I can fix it by stopping mysql.  As soon as I stop
mysql, the bacula job completes successfully.  

Also, it doesn't matter if my fileset includes mysql's data directory or
not.  For example, if I set my fileset to only include File
= /tmp/empty.txt, the job still hangs after starting mysql.

What the heck is bacula-fd doing during/after the Client Run After
script executes?

Is anyone else using a Client Run script to stop/start mysql on FreeBSD?

[Bacula-users] That Doh! moment - FD to SD communication

[David Legg]

I've spent the last two weeks compiling, downloading, installing, 
building and configuring.  Just when I think I'm nearly there a 200 
pound gorilla jumped out and ruined everything ;-)

I have a set of remote servers I'd like to keep backed up over the 
internet by using Bacula to save files to a local server behind a 
router.  All was well as I finally managed to get the director daemon on 
the local server to connect to the file daemon on a remote machine 
through port 9102.  Then, when I actually attempted to run a backup job 
I noticed: -

  30-Oct 23:56 frenzy-fd JobId 6: Fatal error: Failed to connect to Storage 
daemon: optimus:9103

That's when I had my Doh! moment.  I think that when the file daemon (on the 
remote server) gets its marching orders from the director (on the local 
machine) the file daemon attempts to contact the storage server (on the local 
machine) using information supplied to it by the director.  Of course this is 
doomed to failure because the director and the storage server are on one and 
the same machine and in any case the IP address is dynamically assigned by the 
DHCP server and is different to what the File daemon would see because of NAT.

The only practical way I can see to break this problem is to reverse the 
direction of the connection so that the director tells the storage daemon to 
contact the file daemon and not the other way around.  This would work because 
the remote client machines have a FQDN and are thus easier to reach.

Don't suppose this is possible is it ?

I can't believe I've come so close only to be thwarted at the last hurdle.

Best Regards,
David Legg

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula Administration Console

 I'm using BAT to handle my backup routine every day. But it has some
 weird things that i think could be changed.
  
First, there are anyway to change that behavior of showing a
 selection window to choose the item as a result of a command? Example,
 typing 'status' at BAT console shows a Selection Dialog to choose
 which option I want. Instead, i would prefer the normal behavior of
 showing the list with the options which I could just type a number. It
 ´s faster and more confortable to just stick at the keyboard and don't
 have do get the mouse to choose(i know i could still use the keyboard,
 but i would have to press 'TAB' and the arrows a couple of times).

A request would have to be made of Kern.  He was responsible for that
specific part of the code

Second, at the JobPlot window, it could be more human readable
 numbers at the bytes axis, for me, it´s showing that the last backup
 it saved almost 2.5e+07 bytes, not so easy to read. 

This would be done within the qwt code.  A subclass would have to be
made.  It's been a bit since I worked on it.  It's a nice suggestion.
I'll add it to my list and see if it is a relatively easy thing to
accomplish.

 I didn´t realize how to change this settings, does anybody
 know how?

There currently exists no setting for this.  It could be a setting but
would most likely be written to have some intelligence to guess the most
appropriate unit for the axis.

 Thank you very much for the attention
