Oh, I hadn't noticed that. I've now fixed it and will commit it to the CVS. > > Also, is it by design that my bacula-fd.conf is not copied to the > bacula-xxx directory on the initrd image? I hadn't thought about that too much, and it appears that I just put a sort of "template" in the bin directory (from where the restore copies it). I've modified the script that makes the static Bacula to copy the bacula-fd.conf that it finds in the build directory overwriting my "template". Perhaps this will make it easier for you ...
