Actually, I would rather say I was guessing... and pointing out things I considered unexpected to Eric, hoping he'd have a look at that stuff. > Also, after I ctrl-c'd the connections I was able to run a new > console connection and do certain things, but it would hang in the same > spot if I did a "status storage" or a mount request. Ok, that pretty much rules out the console connections limit. > In addition, I don't know if this has any bearing but here are the > concurrency values I was operating under... > In bacula-sd.conf > Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20 > 3 drives with spooling turned on. > In bacula-dir.conf > in the Director section: > Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 12 > In the Jobs sections, > Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 12 > In the Storage section > Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 12 > > There are 3 drives in my autochanger, spooling is turned on.

After I had a look at the release notes for 2.4.4-b1 and the bug tracker I suggest you try the 2.4.4-b1 SD - as far as I can see, bug 1192 *could* be what you found. It should be sufficient to ./configure and make the 2.4.4 version and simply run the newly-created SD with the existing configuration, so there shouldn't be a need to upgrade your whole Bacula setup, or even to touch the existing configuration. If it isn't, it's time to prepare a new bug report, I guess...
