[Bacula-users] Empty log files and no messages on console

2009-08-04 Thread Arthur Lutz
Hi,

I am having a really anonying bug with bacula. The log files are empty,
the email notifications only have the subjet filled in, and running 
jobs on the console don't display anything. 

I don't believe having changed anything to the configuration when 
the logs disappeared (1st of august).

At first I thought it was logrotate that rotated the log and left bacula
writing to another file. I don't think that is the case anymore since 
I've restarted bacula, changed the log file, even stupidly rebooted 
the machine. The modification time on the log file changes but no 
content in it.

The backups still work (I get a bunch of OKs).

I've fiddled with setdebug and autodisplay with no success. Thanks
for any tips investigating this annoying bug (bacula 2.4 on a bunch
of debian machines).

Otherwise thanks for a great product.

Arthur

In the end it was not a question of rights. It was as simple as a full
disk. A bit of clean up later the messages started flowing back... 

Maybe bacula could handle that case differently ? 

Well... happy to get my logs running again.
