We had an adventure Friday. We had errors in backup and later, when re-starting the server, in MySQL. To make a long story short, it turned out that the disk was full. I eventually found the culprits. They were spool files from past jobs. I suppose that those jobs failed for one reason or another and the spool files remained. Deleting them fixed my immediate problem but left me with two questions.
1) Is it possible for Bacula to write such an "orphan" spool file to tape? 2) Spooling differential jobs to disk makes perfect sense, for reasons explained in the manual. On full backups, does Bacula de-spool from disk at the same time that the FD is spooling data to the disk? This seems to be what happens, as I can see tape activity pretty much right away on full backup jobs, but my boss wonders about this. -- Tks n rgds, Richard White CNE6 Network Engineer Mason County, Washington 360-427-5501 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
