Hello list, I posted this before but as I was no member of bacula-users it did not (yet) go through the moderator filter.
We are using bacula for around 9 months now and are so far very happy with it. 2 weeks ago we installed bacula on a new server, a Fujitsu Siemens RX300R3, the jukebox is still a Dell PowerVault 122T with a Quantum SDLT320 drive. We experienced a occasional server crash during backup 3 times now :o(. The last message found in bconsole after a reset is always something like this: 03-Nov 00:43 pdc02-sd: backup_ora01.2006-11-02_21.15.02 Error: block.c:538 Write error at 303:4210 on device "Quantum_SDLT320" (/dev/nst0). ERR=Device or resource busy. 03-Nov 00:43 pdc02-sd: backup_ora01.2006-11-02_21.15.02 Error: Re-read of last block OK, but block numbers differ.

Once I found the following logentry in /var/log/messages: Nov 3 00:43:16 ifs01 kernel: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0524c3f0 After the first crash of this kind the even Dell PowerVault stopped working and had to be replaced... We are using SLES 10 with the latest patches, bacula 1.38.11-3 installed using the rpm packages provided for Suse 10.1. Is anyone else experiencing such strange things? Is there a connection to recently reported problems with a stock Suse 10.1 Kernel? AFAIK SLES 10 is based on Suse 10.1.
