This of course is _why_ we make backups and have rescue disks ;-) Kern, FC5 has been fairly stable for us here, but we've made a decision to use (and pay support for) RHEL4 to cut down on local manpower.

And I'm in the middle of migrating my home box off Suse 10.1 for various reasons (opensuse development needs more time to get things right.

This brings up a question. I've just migrated my existing 1.36 bacula database from Mysql-MyIsam to Mysql-InnoDB and am about to update to 1.38. The first thing I noticed is that InnoDB is significantly larger and the second thing was that database queries ran about 4 times faster... Before redeploying the system in anger, does anyone have any hard data about InnoDB performance vs Postgres for large-ish backup sets? (small full backup sets are 80,000 files, large sets range from 800k up to 5 million files, 4 full sets minimum in the database, daily backups and backups are retained at least 14 months.)
