Pretty much completed my testing. Distinct problems found:
1. The DB write batch size limit clearly and definitely does not work (in addition to being set to 500000 instead of the intended 25000, per past discussion on the subject). This causes jobs that write more than 128K files to fail if backed by a database cluster using Galera replication. Since MySQL Group Replication in Oracle MySQL 5.7 is pretty much Oracle's reverse-engineered Galera with the serial numbers filed off, this can probably be expected to also cause problems with MySQL Group Replication. No problems are found when NOT using Galera, except that all attributes are written in a single massive block at the end of the job (again because the batching is not working). For one of my Full backups, this is about 4 million rows. 1a: This should probably be a Director tunable. 2. Storage daemon misreports available space on Solaris 11. Available space on an 11TB ZFS pool with 4.1TB available is reported as 1.131 PB. 3. [Known issue] Standalone tape drives as storage no longer work unless configured as a fake autochanger. How to do this correctly is not documented. I had to figure it out by trial and error, and what I eventually figured out *works*, but throws errors to the console from mtx-changer. If the standalone tape driver issue is not readily fixable, then at the least, the procedure for properly setting up a fake autochanger needs to be clearly documented. I'll file bugs on these shortly. Carried over from prior versions: 4. "Full backup Pool" etc. settings in jobs still override job parameters set by the operator, but these settings are the only way to have storage automatically selected by job level if you have different storage for different job levels. 5. Multiple redundant dialogs are still created by BAT when performing certain operations. However, it appears these can now only be responded to in a specific order, and therefore no longer cause BAT to become unresponsive if addressed in the wrong order. -- Phil Stracchino Babylon Communications ph...@caerllewys.net p...@co.ordinate.org Landline: +1.603.293.8485 Mobile: +1.603.998.6958 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Bacula-devel mailing list Bacula-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-devel
