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:

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?
