Hi,
I'm trying to isolate a problem. I have bacula 1.38.5 running on
FreeBSD 6.0R and the system seems to be crashing hard. It doesn't seem
to core dump, and there is nothing in the logs, it just stop becoming
responsive.
Serial console / Display shows?
Does it happen at the same time every day/period?
If yes that might indicate a software-triggered problem.
If no, perhaps check the hardware first.
If you stop bacula and let it run, does it crash?
What discs/controller are you using?
SATA/SCSI?
FreeBSD drivers ata/...
What threading library (kse, thr) are you using for Bacula?
(Default on 6 is kse)
The system responds to pings (sometimes), but I can not SSH in. Before
it crashed so bad the local keyboard didn't even work. A reboot would
fix things, but it would become unstable again quickly. I have similar
How quickly?
hardware running FreeBSD 4.9 and 5.4 with no stability problems.
Not automatically indicative of anything.
The server is a dedicated backup box so there are no other network
daemons (besides SSH/sendmail) running.
Anybody have similar problems? I'm thinking it may be a weird hardware
problem with the RAM or the CPU, and was going to swap HDDs into a
spare box. I wanted to ask here first before tearing the box apart.
I have a daily Bacula crash which I have had for ages on FreeBSD 5.4 and
6.0. I'm pretty sure it only happens with my configurations and not the
standard ones. Something about my setup causes it to crash right before
the job to backup the catalogue, but before it actually started to run
that job. It is easy to fix, just restart bacula at midnight from cron.
One of these days I'll build a -ggdb bacula and get a core dump...
Thanks.
Ben.
