Re: [Bacula-users] Tape ejecting problem
seems an access right problem on /dev/st0. I think the simpler is to add in your Device configuration in bacula-sd.conf the directive : OfflineOnUnmount = yes Then you can remove the shell commands with 'mt' in your script. This directive will eject the tape if an 'umount' or a 'release' is issued. Hope it helps. Loïs Lherbier always full fo surprises ... that did work, but bacula ejected the tape after job 1 of 5 ^^ thus failing the other jobs .. ah well .. will have to see that the command is run once and only after the last job ^^ Florian --- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects Teams * Testing QA Security * Process Improvement Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

[Bacula-users] crashed client further backups ?
Hi ! I`m playing with the bacula-configuration here (1.37.36) and i noticed the following behaviour. I started a backup-job to backup our Windows 2003 Server ... everything ran fine till the windows-box crashed (still investigating why but this is something else i think - not bacula related). Now the director says the job is still running. Meanwhile i have added another backup-job to the queue that is awaiting the end of the first job. Now even if i cancel the windows-backup-job and the director says it is properly canceled it still won`t go away ... from the documentation i got the idea that it should continue after a few minutes but now i waited an hour an nothing happened. (logfiles at bottom) Restarting the director solved the problem, alltough i had to start the second job again. My concern is that when our bacula setup goes live and during the nightly backup-run ONE client crashes during the backup and the complete backup hangs ? Is there some sort of timeout that notices the client isn`t sending data anymore ? Is there a way to continue the backup from where it crashed (i doubt this functionality exists) ? If i had a Full-Backup pool for the crashed machine with a volume retention time of 2 months and 2 volumes maximum - what would happen if: sunday fullbackup crashes - volume marked as used monday - incremental gets upgraded to full - volume marked as used tue-sat - incrementals as usual sunday fullbackup - retention time for both used volumes are not over so what happens ? -- Logfiles --- Running Jobs: JobId Level Name Status == 10 FullNoether.2005-08-31_08.52.29 is running *cancel 10 Automatically selected Job: JobId=10 Job=Noether.2005-08-31_08.52.29 Confirm cancel (yes/no): yes 2901 Job Noether.2005-08-31_08.52.29 not found. 3000 Job Noether.2005-08-31_08.52.29 marked to be canceled.

(logfiles at bottom) Well, I don't know which section in the manual you refer to, but this is a network timeout problem and that's rather long in bacula - 2 hours, I think. So, you need to wait longer, and everything is ok. It works here, for example. Restarting the director solved the problem, alltough i had to start the second job again. That's normal. The DIR doesn't store running but waiting jobs, so it doesn't know that you wanted to run that job after the restart. My concern is that when our bacula setup goes live and during the nightly backup-run ONE client crashes during the backup and the complete backup hangs ? It just takes longer than you expected for bacula to consider the client as dead. Is there some sort of timeout that notices the client isn`t sending data anymore ? Yup. Is there a way to continue the backup from where it crashed (i doubt this functionality exists) ? Right, that's not possible. If i had a Full-Backup pool for the crashed machine with a volume retention time of 2 months and 2 volumes maximum - what would happen if: sunday fullbackup crashes - volume marked as used monday - incremental gets upgraded to full - volume marked as used tue-sat - incrementals as usual sunday fullbackup - retention time for both used volumes are not over so what happens ? I'm not sure I can follow your thought, but it seems that you found one of the reasons why you always want to have as many generations of backups as possible (possibility depending on available sorage, of course) - the same problem arises when one set of backup volumes is damaged. Bacula would notice a missing full backup when it starts a backup based on a full backup - it needs the time of the last higher-level backup to determine which files to save. To my knowledge, though, there is one situation where it might miss the fact that a full backup is not available: When an incremental backup is dased on a differential one. Then, bacula would only notice the missing full backup when the next differential job is started. This is something Kern was thinking about or working on, though, so it might be that bacula always makes sure that a full backup is available, or this might become true in the future.

Hello ! Thanks for the quick response ! Arno Lehmann wrote: Well, I don't know which section in the manual you refer to, but this is a network timeout problem and that's rather long in bacula - 2 hours, I think. Ouch, 2 hours is hard ... but i guess i can configure around this problem with allowing concurrent backups ... (for example one process hanging and waiting for timeout and the other is backing up fine) If i had a Full-Backup pool for the crashed machine with a volume retention time of 2 months and 2 volumes maximum - what would happen if: sunday fullbackup crashes - volume marked as used monday - incremental gets upgraded to full - volume marked as used tue-sat - incrementals as usual sunday fullbackup - retention time for both used volumes are not over so what happens ? I'm not sure I can follow your thought Indeed you couldn`t ;-) I noticed an error in my example tho, the retention time for the example should be two weeks. The question is about the volumes and their retention time. On the second sunday bacula would try to make a backup, check for available volumes in the full-pool and see two volumes (remember ? 2 volumes maximum), both in the used state (one 6 days old and ok, one 7 days old and damaged from the client-crash during the backup). At least i got the impression that a failed backup leads to a closed, used volume ... does bacula notice that this volume is incomplete and flag it for recycling immediately ignoring the retention time ? (as the data in the file is incomplete anyway). -- Daniel HoltkampRiege Software International GmbH System Administration Mollsfeld 10 40670 Meerbusch, Germany Phone: +49-2159-9148-41 mail: holtkamp [at] riege.comFax: +49-2159-9148-11 --- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects Teams * Testing QA Security * Process Improvement Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

from the Bacula manual:
In fact, the @filename can appear anywhere within the conf file where a
token would be read, and the contents of the named file will be
logically inserted in the place of the @filename. What must be in the
file depends on the location the @filename is specified in the conf file.
So, you can use this to include a file.
Admittedly, I only found this in the FileSet explanation, not in the
table of contents or the index... so, one point where the manual could
be improved :-)

Hello, I saw that for instance if you do a 'status director' and Bacula starts pruning the tapes. I think the reason is that Bacula is determining which tape will be the next for the future jobs when you use 'status director'. And pruning can take a looong time (several minutes for me ) depending on many parameters.

The frequency of cleaning lights is _very_ much related to dust levels in the environment and air, this can be quite surprising. Probably in the case above you have dust buildup under the cabinet or carpets and tape changes are stiring up enough to get into the changer's air intakes. The good changers have fairly effective cabinet air filters. Smoking is also bad for tape drives - the ash in cigarette smoke is extremely abrasive and fine enough to get through most filters.

This crowding-out of volunteers is clearly something that I don't want to happen as I want Bacula to remain free and open rather than commercial or semi-commercial. What I have noticed is that most, for sure not all, of Bacula's contributors have made one, sometimes important contribution, then gone on to other things. There is a growing number of long time contributors, which is very pleasing to me -- thanks guys, and there is a growing number of contributions as well. What I would like to encourage is a few more long time contributors that work in the core code. This is the major area that is lacking in Bacula. Perhaps this will happen over time, perhaps it will improve if I start making a few public appearances next year in free software meetings.

The same thing happens with commands such as label barcodes. I'm running on Solaris 9 with a tape library. mtx and mt commands work fine even if bacula is running - I don't think it's anything to do with device contention. I attach what I think are the relevant parts of the dir and sd conf files. Anyone know what's going on? You will need to run it under the debugger as described in the Kaboom chapter of the manual. OK - done that. Some interesting results... First of all, I don't think there's anything really useful here - the system *appears* to work OK now because of some of the things I did, but it's nothing earth-shaking. I took Kern's advice and ran an instance of the SD under GDB with the command line: run -s -f -d 99 -c /opt/bacula/etc/bacula-sd.conf First off, I noticed that the SD was trying to access both the drives in the changer but because there were no tapes in there at the time it appeared to hang - waiting on I/O, I assume. Why this happened, I can't say (but see below). I stopped this run, used mtx to load tapes into the drives and tried again. This time the SD didn't hang on straight queries, but crashed (with SIGPIPE) when I tried to do anything such as get the status. I *did* notice the comments in the docs about compiling with the --enable-thread-safe-client option, which I hadn't done before. (Did this cause the problem?) No, that is only for MySQL and is not critical. Anyway, I reconfigured/compiled with this option, scrubbed the database and tried again. Now it works - so far. Kern, is the --enable-thread-safe-client *that* important? If so, I think more emphasis on its importance in the documentation would be useful. Sorry guys, I know I changed a lot of variables at the same time which is not too helpful. If anyone has ideas of how to track down possible bugs I'll be happy to reconfigure and try to duplicate what you expect to see.

[Bacula-users] Re: [Bacula-devel] Re: Open Source Funding Idea (Problems and Strategies in Financing Voluntary Free Software Projects)
On Wednesday 31 August 2005 20:29, David Boyes wrote: Yes, indeed. This is a very interesting article. I was aware of the problems of funding especially bad feelings that can develop when certain developers are paid and others not, but I had never considered it from an angle of crowing-out of volunteer programmers. This crowding-out of volunteers is clearly something that I don't want to happen as I want Bacula to remain free and open rather than commercial or semi-commercial. I think another aspect that we haven't seen a lot of discussion on is transparency and accountability, which is often the big catch with commercial donors. I don't think this is a really big problem. First, I am someone very open. I have no problem with keeping things transparent. The few conversations I have off-list, for example, are typically private or items that would interest very few persons such as release packaging problems (bugs), ... Concerning accountability, in general, that won't be a problem either as I must have been an accountant in a former life because I have no problem doing the bookkeeping for a number of corporations that ran in the past. One idea I've been toying with proposing is the idea of having a formally reviewed proposal process (similar to applying for a grant) for projects to be funded by the foundation. The formal review would include estimates of time, level of effort, timelines, and formal requirements for documentation and code standards. Asking someone to think about these things in advance tends to sort the serious contributors from the kibitzers. I believe the Apache and Samba folks have adopted this approach for this very reason. Yes, this is a good idea, but it is probably a bit early for this simply because we don't have sufficient numbers of contributors. If we had 10 programmers submitting code, this would be critical, but when it is one or two as it is now, there isn't much need. The review of the proposal would be conducted by Kern and a technical review body selected by him for technical relevance, usefulness, and furthering the general good. The proposals could then be ranked based on that technical review, and funded from the foundation accordingly. Some risk management controls would need to be implemented (along with a legal obligation to repay the foundation if you receive money and don't complete the project). Proposals would be open to anyone, and repeat proposals would be encouraged -- if you have a track record of doing good work, that should be a plus in your favor. Perhaps that idea could be combined with the authorized providers idea in that they could become part of that technical review body -- if you contribute resources/money, your opinion of what should be prioritized should (IMHO) count a little bit more than the random community at large (the put up or shut up model). Contributions of time should count as well as funding. What I would like to encourage is a few more long time contributors that work in the core code. See above. While most of us do this for the love of it, a little money coming back in makes it a lot easier to convince the PTBs of the importance of the work. Even a token amount goes a long way to making that case, and if there's a clear audit trail, I think a lot of organizations would be interested. I'm thinking about transitioning into something like Debian does, where a certain funding is really important, but they don't actually pay programmers. Paying programmers is what seems to create the conflicts or crowding out. What I can imagine, and what I had already planned, is to make a list of projects. Then rather than say that I will implement those projects for the next release, I step back, select one or two smaller things for me, and ask people to step forward for those projects. If no one steps forward, then we will simply not implement those features. As for funding those projects, I'm thinking that Bacula, at least in the near future, will not fund them. However, something that has worked in the past is that if one or more corporations want a particular feature that is on this project list, then they will have several options of getting it done: 1. supply programmers to do it under Bacula supervision. 2. submit a patch (not really recommended -- not so long ago, I rejected a pretty big patch). 3. provide funding incentives for programmers. For item 3, in the past, I have simply put qualified programmers in touch with the corporate sponsors, and they worked out the funding between them. This was the case, for example, for Landon, who wanted the funding to go to EFF. However, other programmers may want to receive the funding themselves. In any case, Bacula would not be directly involved with the funding. This is probably not the best long term solution, but it is a solution for the short term (I think) that avoids getting Bacula into the

Loïs Lherbier whoops .. sorry, of course :-) #!/bin/sh bconsole -c /etc/bacula/bconsole.conf END_OF_DATA unmount storage=Tape END_OF_DATA # the following is a shell command mt -f /dev/st0 rewind mt -f /dev/st0 eject AFAIK the rewind isn't really necessary since bacula rewinds the tape as soon as it's mounted but this is up to you. You might try using 'mt -f /dev/st0 offline' instead of 'mt -f /dev/st0 eject' since offline is supposed to be the same as eject according to mt(1). From the driver/hardware point of view I don't know what the difference is between 'offline' and 'eject' but 'offline' works fine here. The OfflineOnUnmount directive shouldn't eject the tape until the tape is unmounted by bacula (either automatically or by the unmount command in the console). I suspect that what's happening here is that you're still using the eject_tape script in the RunAfterJob and regardless of whether the 'mt eject' is working it's still unmounting storage=Tape which is causing bacula to eject the tape. Personally, I would handle this by leaving the OfflineOnUnmount turned on and creating an Admin job which executes your eject_tape script. Then comment out the mt rewind and eject lines so that the script just tells bacula to unmount the drive. Comment out the RunAfterJob which calls eject_tape in your other Job(s). Set a high number for Priority on this Admin job, and schedule it to run at the same time as your other jobs. In theory this would let your jobs run normally, then when all of your jobs have finished the Admin job will run, the script will unmount the storage resource, and bacula will eject your tape.
