When exactly does this error appear? I am confused on that because at home I just killed bacula-sd and then ran bconsole and it does start up fine without any sd running. However if I do a status storage I get the following error (after a few seconds timeout): jmd1 bacula # bconsole Connecting to Director jmd1:9101 1000 OK: jmd1-dir Version: 2.1.22 (26 June 2007) Enter a period to cancel a command. *status storage Automatically selected Storage: File Connecting to Storage daemon File at jmd1:9103 Failed to connect to Storage daemon File. ==== * Is this what you mean? After starting bacula-sd again I get the following output: # /etc/init.d/bacula-sd start * Service bacula-sd starting * Service bacula-sd started jmd1 bacula # bconsole Connecting to Director jmd1:9101 1000 OK: jmd1-dir Version: 2.1.22 (26 June 2007) Enter a period to cancel a command. *status storage Automatically selected Storage: File Connecting to Storage daemon File at jmd1:9103 jmd1-sd Version: 2.1.22 (26 June 2007) x86_64-pc-linux-gnu gentoo Daemon started 30-Jul-07 23:21, 0 Jobs run since started.
