[Bacula-users] plugin failure
Does anyone have any idea why a plugin would produce the following error: Command plugin... requested, but is not loaded The plugin is in the correct directory and I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times. What else could be the culprit?

That's why i have done the "dd" tests from the same "disk" which yield the 140MBytes/sec. Other tests with hdparm/bonnie and simple cp yield to something in the line of 260MBytes/sec which looks like the Sata-2 transfer limit. So saturating the tape speed should be possible, no?

As far as i understand the block size used as default (and max.) if nothing is specified is 64,512 Bytes. This looks a little bit low for high-speed tape and i'm not sure what the downside of higher values could be or why the manual state that there is no need to set it explicit (higher). As i'm in the testing phase i will have a look if higher values lead to any trouble. Anyone aware why the default of 126*512 Bytes was choosen?

[Bacula-users] Incomplete Jobs
Hi Is the feature "Incomplete Jobs/stop/restart" from Bacula Enterprise 6.0 going to be available in the (free) version 5 series?

[Bacula-users] Bacula Linux and the LTO-4 tape speed
Hello List this has been discussed already some times on the list but as i have ssen no real conclusion i will ask for opinion again. The setup is Bacula 5.2.10 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (x64) with a LTO-4 drive connected through Adaptec 29320LPE, a 320MByte/sec PCI-Express controller. To prevent the LTO-4 tape from shining/whining around we use the Data spool feature on a SSD drive (Intel Postville Refresh 120GB) with "Maximum Spool Size = 20GB" and "Maximum File Size = 4GB". This works as expected beside the fact that the transfer spped max. out at ~84MBytes/sec with encrypted data (hard to further compress) and 86MBytes/sec without encryption when using Bacula. To test if the hardware is to blame i have done some simple dd to tape like this "dd if=/some/file of=/dev/nst0 bs=xxK" which lead to ~110MBytes/sec with bs=64K and ~140MBytes/sec with bs=1M As the tape is altering speed all the time with Bacula i would like to know if there is a possibility to get closer to the dd values and what could be the bottleneck in such a setup? It would also be helpful if someone has compareable results for LTO-4 with Bacula to see if we are on the right track.

Re: [Bacula-users] Database error after bacula installation with postgresql
Hola Andy
Los testeos desde bacula-sd y bacual-fd son correctos debido a que ambos
demonios no atacan al catalogo de bacula, es el demonio bacula-dir quien
realiza las operaciones sobre la base de datos.
Ahora bien, en primer lugar deberías intentar conectarte al catálogo desde
linea de comandos mediante el comando psql para comprobar que accedes bien al
catalogo, logueado como usuario root:
/etc/bacula# psql -U bacula bacula
psql (9.1.4)
Type "help" for help.
bacula=#
En el caso de no poder conectarte con el usuario bacula, es decir, te dará un
error de permiso denegado, tendrás que loguearte con el usuario postgres y
probar a acceder.
Me surge la duda de si la instalación las has realizado desde los fuentes o
desde los paquetes que te proporciona la distribución. Para el primer caso
deberás asignarle una contraseña al usuario bacula en la base de datos bacula y
luego esta contraseña deberá coindicir con la definida en la sección Catalog
del fichero de configuración bacula-dir.conf.
• En postgres
# psql -U bacula bacula
bacula =# alter user bacula with password '123456';
• En bacula-dir.conf
Catalog {
Name = MyCatalog
# Uncomment the following line if you want the dbi driver
# dbdriver = "dbi:sqlite3"; dbaddress = 127.0.0.1; dbport =
dbname = "bacula"; DB Address = ""; dbuser = "bacula"; dbpassword = "123456"
}
• Reinicia servicio bacula-director y prueba.
Otra cosa que deberás comprobar, es que en el fichero de configuración de
postgres pg_hba.conf esté configurado correctamente para que bacula pueda
acceder al catalogo; pon especial cuidado en la columna donde se asigna el
METHOD ya que dependiendo de uno u otro bacula no podrá acceder. Te envio ej:
# Database administrative login by Unix domain socket
local all postgres trust
# TYPE DATABASE USER ADDRESS METHOD
# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local all all trust
# IPv4 local connections:
host all all md5
# IPv6 local connections:
host all all ::1/128 md5
# Allow replication connections from localhost, by a user with the
# replication privilege.
#local replication postgres peer
#host replication postgres 127.0.0.1/32 md5
#host replication postgres ::1/128 md5
Espero te sirva de ayuda.
