[Disclaimer: I've searched the archives best I know how. If you can point me to docs and/or messages I missed, that'd be great!]
We've been using Bacula for over a year, and it has run great. Recently, we got a nice disk-based 5.1TB array (Coraid AoE if you care) are working on implementing it with Bacula. All the configuration has gone great, and we're going test runs. This is where we run into problems. If I fire off Full backups of all the clients, it will run OK for a while. Then at one point, I tried a command on bconsole, and it said 06-Apr 15:25 bconsole: Error: bnet.c:403 Write error sending to Director daemon:herodotus.cde.uaf.edu:9101: ERR=Broken pipe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/local/bacula/sbin]# ./bconsole Connecting to Director herodotus.cde.uaf.edu:9101 06-Apr 15:25 bconsole: Fatal error: bnet.c:773 Unable to connect to Director daemon on herodotus.cde.uaf.edu:9101. A ps -Af shows *no* bacula-dir processes left running. Top shows bacula-sd still grinding away, as well as some of the SSH tunnels. I can still get to the network drive and do things like ls and du, so it's not lost communication. Restarting bacula and doing status from bconsole shows no jobs running, but the database shows a bunch of jobs in JobStatus "R". The bacula (/var/bacula/working/log) shows nothing out of the ordinary. This is on Linux, with kernel 2.6.11-12mdksmp, Bacula 1.36.1, 1GB of memory. There is no dump, stack trace, or e-mail about the crash. I know there are more recent versions. I don't have time right now to upgrade all my clients. Should I try 1.36.3 before I throw in the towel? Any other ideas?
