Files seems to be backuped but i get the following error-message(s): Warning: backup.c:974 Error reading ACL of /export/mail/filename the problem is that the ACL interface changed from ufs (posix style) to zfs (NFSv4). Bacula can handle posix style ACL, but not the new NFSv4 ones. I have written code (for the 2.0 HEAD) which fully supports NFSv4 ACL on Solaris 10. The problem is, the code isn't tested well enough and I need to write regression tests for the ACL handling. Since we postponed the use of NFSv4 ACL in one of our projects, I cannot do this in working hours anymore. Well, actually I ended up programing NFSv4 ACL support in my spare time anyhow. If there is enough interest I could port the code to the current HEAD and start writing regression tests. A backport to 2.2.x shouldn't be a big problem then. The drawback is that my spare time is quite limited, so this may take a while. Just a few further notes: Unless you are using ACL on your zfs your data schould be save. You just have to live with the annoying error messages. You can check for this: find /zfs_mount_point -acl prints all files with ACL, ls -V file_with_acl show the associated ACL. Curious if there is any update on this? I'm thinking about using some ZFS mounts and it would be nice to back them up via Bacula. -- Best regards, Ken Gunderson Q: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation.

Are you using chio or mtx-changer, and why? I've looked at the chio example scripts and seems that chio-bacula simulates barcodes and rc-chio-changer handles real barcodes but that chio-changer ignores them... The latter makes mention of FBSD-5.2 so that puts it a couple years old. rc-chio-changer has a cvs id of 2006-02-23 and looks to me most recent?

Googling bacula and chio doesn't turn up much though so I wondered if it was actually in use by anyone? Ugh! Hate replying to myself but also found this in bacula list archives back in Feb. 2006: http://www.mail-archive.com/bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg09273.html So here's a question for you Dan - are you still using rc-chio-changer w/FBSD-6.x or is mtx-changer now preferred? All other things being equal it's nice to have one less port to worry about... And I also note that there is yet another chio script in the port's files directory wh/is also called chio-bacula wh/is updated version of chio-bacula from examples directory to support multiple drive indexes? One might expect the files/chio-bacula would be the preferred chio script?

Each chunk of data to be written to disk is divided in Numer of physical RAID disks writes - 1 plus another write to store CRC on to the remaining disk ( the CRC chunk is written in a round-robin model using all RAID disks ). For write changed data, the RAID logic must locate where the data was, rewrite it and calculate the changes to the parity to reflect the changes Another important point is the time spend on rebuild a previously failed disk ( data is not copied from antoher disk, is regenerated using the data in CRC chunks ) And another tip, If fails 2 disks, good by data, must restore from backup How about raid 6? With raid 6 you can loose 2 disks and you loose nothing. I have around 10TB mostly on raid 6 using 250GB and 330 GB SATA drives and they work great. I have had to replace a disk from time to time but I have never had 2 go bad at once. Always try to use any more 'friendly' RAID as RAID1 / RAID10 But then you throw away 1/2 the space. We can argue/discuss this until we're blue in the face but IMHO RAID10 is the way to go. Better performance, better redundancy, and better reliability.

btape fill succeeds.
Note that previously I'd read in bacula btape docs:
When I set Hardware End of Medium = no and Fast Forward Space File =
no file positioning was very slow on my LTO-3 (about ten to 100
minutes), but
with Hardware End of Medium = no and Fast Forward Space File = yes, the
time is ten to 100 times faster (about one to two minutes).
I'm using LTO-2 drive but had waited 3-4 hours w/the Fast Forward Space
File = No setting so figured, perhaps mistakenly, that that should have
been enough??

[Bacula-users] Overland ArcVault12 btape issues
Hello List:
I have an Overland Storage ArcVault12 w/single LTO-2 drive that's
giving me issues when running btape fill.
The unit is presently at a remote site. I don't think it is related but
just to be complete, upon arrival and powering up the ArcVault12
exhibited an identity crisis and thought it was an ArcVault24 w/2
drives. Tweaking a setting in RMU remedied this but I wondered about
it because it knew it was an ArcVault12 when I shipped it. Techs on
other end say box did not exhibit signs of damage or abuse during
shipping. I ran through the RMU diagnostics and all tests succeeded.
The backup server the unit is connected to is a 1U Tyan B5151, running
FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p5, GENERIC kernel, i386 bits. SCSI controller is a
LSI-20320 (U320, PCI-X), wh/uses the mpt driver on FBSD.
Bacula version is bacula-server-2.0.3 built from ports w/o any special
flags passed during make.
Relevant bacula-sd.conf config:
Autochanger {
Name = Autochanger
Device = Drive-1
Changer Command = /usr/local/etc/bacula/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d
Changer Device = /dev/pass1
}
Device {
Name = Drive-1 #
Drive Index = 0
Media Type = LTO-2
Archive Device = /dev/nsa0
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
AutoChanger = yes
Alert Command = sh -c 'tapeinfo -f %c |grep TapeAlert|cat'
# btape test results advise tweaking thusly...
Hardware End of Medium = No
Fast Forward Space File = No
BSF at EOM = yes
Backward Space Record = No
}
Addition of above tweaks and btape test completes w/o complaint.
When doing a btape fill, however, the tape fills but then btape just
waits forever, as evidenced here:
btape: btape.c:2343 Last block at: 296:10031 this_dev_block_num=10032

Reading the first 1 records from 0:0.
1 records read now at 1:5084
Reposition from 1:5084 to 296:10031
Any hints what might be causing this? I tested the ArcVault prior to
shipping with an old Adaptec 2940 SCSI Card and to the best of my
recollection things just worked.
I read in Bacula docs:
Figure out how to configure your SCSI driver to keep track of
the file position during the MTEOM request. This is the preferred
solution.
versus setting Hardware End of File = no and wonder if this might
perhaps be mpt scsi driver related? Anyone else using an ArcVault
w/FreeBSD can confirm a working configuration?
TIA :)

You know, it may be overkill... but then again, haven't we as a community sort of been clamoring for a Bacula-official wiki for awhile? I know you may not want to be the one doing that work, but I wonder if we can't kill two birds here with one stone. IMHO Wiki's suck. Dokuwiki sucking less than most. -- Best regards, Ken Gunderson GPG Key -- 9F5179FD Never hold discussions with the monkey when the organ grinder is in the room. - Sir Winston Churchill - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

Good point... if someone set up a CMS or Wiki with the (probably) necessary modules to support the voting process, I'd manage the feature requests and voting itself. (But I do prefer something much more structured than a bare wiki.) +1 Wiki != CMS and definitely NOT the way to go, IMHO. -- Best regards, Ken Gunderson GPG Key -- 9F5179FD Never hold discussions with the monkey when the organ grinder is in the room. - Sir Winston Churchill - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

If noone finds a suitable solution with some readily available software I'll start thinking how to implement something myself in a few days. Hello Arno: What is the present site based on? Straight html/css or is there some CMS backend already in place? There are lots of CMS solutions out there, many of wh/look attractive on first blush but start showing assorted warts once you start using in production. Given this, Plone makes my short list. It's not a quick and dirty solution, however, as it involves setting up (and maintaining) Zope application server, ZEO DB backend (not strictly necessary but I recommend using for production sites), Plone, various Plone Products (e.g. Polls), and http proxy front end, so if you're looking for relatively quick fix then perhaps better off w/something php based, particularly if you're also interested in implementing other features like forum boards. Some links (don't go too crazy exploring...): -CMS Matrix http://www.cmsmatrix.org/matrix -Opensource CMS (good place to demo various offerings) http://www.opensourcecms.com/index.php A couple php based that would make my short list: -e107 http://e107.org/news.php -Joomla: http://www.joomla.org/ Joomla gives you more eye candy but I prefer e107 (better security track record - at least last I checked). I've got project deadlines and going to be swamped the next day or two. Afterwards I'll still be pretty busy but should be able to squeeze some time. -- Best regards, Ken Gunderson GPG Key -- 9F5179FD Never hold discussions with the monkey when the organ grinder is in the room. - Sir Winston Churchill - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

To clarify things a bit: Currently, I only plan to manage the feature requests and the voting process. For that purpose, I'm looking for a solution to collect and present feature requests, preferrably in the format they are in now (i.e. Description, detailed notes, status and people working on it). The voting functionality should be included, so that, for each voting period, any (registered) user can vote for a number of features, can assign weights to the votes, and the solution adds the votes up correctly. I'm not too eager to install a complete CMS plus add-ons, or bugzilla, or something similarly oversized. As of now, I don't see an out-of-the box solution, and I think that creating a tailored voting solution would not be unrealistic, but I'm still open for suggestions. Arno I have a plone server - I have no experience with the polling/voting products, but there are a few: Thanks for the suggestions! http://www.contentmanagementsoftware.info/plone/PlonePopoll This one allows users to vote for an answer out of a prepared list. For us, that would meant that I'd have to prepare a list of all feature requests for the voting, each user could only vote for one feature, and weigthed votes would not be possible. http://plone.org/products/rating-engine No released files, and no usable example. The description sounds good, though. http://www.contentmanagementsoftware.info/plone/usability-issue-tracker and more: http://plone.org/products/by-category/poll Hmmm... I found ploneSurvey, but there is no usable documentation. It is normally quite easy to install a product, and also very easy to add a new site to the server and do some minor adaptations to the looks - clolour, logo etc So asuming that there will not be heavy traffic I could host the list if you should favour that - only I'm in the process of upgrading the server - so it will only be possible to go into production some weeks from now That would not be a problem, I think... would you be willing to install the rating-engine plugin for testing purposes? Arno I tried, but there were errors. Maybe my plone version is too old, I will try to install on the new server - see if installs there. -- Regards I'm pretty familiar w/Plone. Just resubscribed to this list, however, so not up on what you're objectives are here in this thread. Feel free to contact me off list if you'd like to elaborate. -- Best regards, Ken Gunderson GPG Key -- 9F5179FD Never hold discussions with the monkey when the organ grinder is in the room. - Sir Winston Churchill - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

[Bacula-users] FreeBSD-6.x Autochanger - Overland ArcVault??
Greets All: I'm looking for an autochanger that works well w/the latest and greatest releases of Bacula and FreeBSD. I'm unsure as of yet whether the autochanger will end up connected to an amd64 or i386 bit machine (but these days we run mostly amd64). Overland's new ArcVaults are looking attractive but apparently still too new for googling. From past track record one may posit that it's generally safe going w/Overland storage but I'm open to other suggestions. If Dan and some others from Bacula on FBSD crew could please provide a few pointers I'd appreciate it.
