It may default to 20 *there*, but that seems to be overridden by what's set in the Storage resource in bacula-dir.conf, and if *that's* omitted, it apparently defaults to 1. I could not get concurrent jobs to work until I explicitly inserted an additional "Max Concurrent Jobs = 20" directive there as well. Thus, to all practical purposes, if there is no Max Concurrent Jobs directive in the Storage resource in bacula-dir.conf, then the Max Concurrent Jobs directive in the Storage resource in bacula-sd.conf is ignored. The omitted directive in bacula-dir.conf is defaulting to 1 and overriding the directive in bacula-sd.conf. This may not be how it is documented to work, it may not be how it is intended to work, but on Solaris 10 at least, this is how it's working. -- Phil Stracchino, CDK#2 DoD#299792458 ICBM: 43.5607, -71.355 [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Renaissance Man, Unix ronin, Perl hacker, Free Stater It's not the years, it's the mileage. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The NEW KODAK i700 Series Scanners deliver under ANY circumstances!
