I ran into a strange failure mode, which I don't understand:

This is one of the typical reports I get when backing up the catalog:

  JobId:                  2974
  Job:                    BackupCatalog.2006-06-30_01.00.00

  Volume name(s):         xxxxxx.denx.de-024
  Volume Session Id:      235
  Volume Session Time:    1144017997
  Last Volume Bytes:      3,840,609,011

  SD Errors:              0
  FD termination status:  OK
  SD termination status:  OK

Looks perfectly OK to me.

A "query" gives:

Looks OK to me, too.

However:

There is a size limit of 8 GB per volume which worked fine for a long
time, but the something happened - the problem was that I ran out  of
disk  space  on  the  partition  where the backup volumes are stored.
Actually a long time ago, but without noticing.

What I don't understand is: neither  bacula-dir  nor  bacula-sd  gave
*any* indication of the problem. 


dir Version: 1.38.5 (18 January 2006) i686-pc-linux-gnu redhat (Tettnang)
sd  Version: 1.38.5 (18 January 2006) i686-pc-linux-gnu redhat (Tettnang)

The Archive Device is on a NFS mounted partition.  I  don't  see  any
error messages in any of the system logs, either.


Any ideas how to get aware of such a problem in the future?


Best regards,
