The Berkeley Database apparently requires that hot backups read disk
pages atomically.  They note that most system cp commands do so; I've
searched the manual, FAQ, and newsgroups, but can't find how bacula
operates when reading a file.

Does anyone know if I can count on the reads taking whole pages?

More generally, any tips on bdb backups with bacula would be great.

I'm on Linux with a 2.6 kernel.

Thanks.
