Hello,

I keep running into a "Spool block too big" error. I am running FreeBSD 6.2-PRERELEASE #1: Sat Oct 28 16:07:28 EDT 2006 with the bacula port 1.38.11_3. I have run all 9 of the tape testing steps and the problem has never appeared when jobs are not run concurrently. Messages from the storage daemon are:

23-Dec 16:58 client1-sd: Committing spooled data to Volume "A0000007". Despooling 6,615,803,396 bytes ... 23-Dec 16:58 client1-sd: client2-backup.2006-12-23_15.24.47 Fatal error: spool.c:320 Spool block too big.

bacula-dir.conf:

Director {
  Name = client1-dir
  DIRport = 9101
  DIRAddress = 10.10.10.12
  QueryFile = "/usr/local/share/bacula/query.sql"
  WorkingDirectory = "/var/db/bacula"
  PidDirectory = "/var/run"
  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 5
  Password = "password"
  Messages = Daemon
}

JobDefs {
  Name = "WeeklyCycle"
  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 5
  Type = Backup
  Pool = Default
  Storage = Exabyte
  Messages = Standard
  Max Start Delay = 22h
  SpoolData = yes
  Schedule = "WeeklyCycle"
  FileSet = "Full Set"
  Priority = 1
}

Job {
  JobDefs = WeeklyCycle
  Name = "client2-backup"
  Client = client2-fd
  Write Bootstrap = "client2.bsr"
}

Client {

  Name = client2-fd
  Address = client2
  FDPort = 9102
  Catalog = Catalog
  Password = "password1"
  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 5
}

There are 5 clients with basically the same definition. Random spool failures occur on one or two of them from time to time. Occurs during full backups.

Checked out the suggestions on the mailing list (http://www.mail- archive.com/bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg01015.html):

1/  only one storage daemon.
2/ lots of space on the disk. No chance that if filled when this problem occurred.
3/ no.
4/ don't think so.
5/ don't know, but unlikely.
6/  no complaints.

TIA,
Brian
