I've been setting maximum jobs to 2 for most file daemons around here, since we should never actually be running more than 1 job (but we have room to run a second simultaneous job in case I ever think of a reason that we need to).
Having mistakenly forgotten to set "Allow Duplicate Jobs=no", I now have a user whose laptop is running two simultaneous "Full" 100GB+ backups. I went to cancel the later-starting of the two and...I'm denied. The director appears to hang for several minutes before finally giving me a "Like, Dude, Something Went Wrong!" message. The error message suggests the problem is that I've hit the "maximum concurrent jobs" limit on the FD (as I'm pretty confident that of the other two options, the passwords match and the two simultaneously-running jobs suggest there's nothing currently wrong with the networking...). I find I can't even get client status. "status client=(hostname)" for that system gives me: 23-Sep 12:46 bacula-dir JobId 0: Fatal error: Error sending Hello to File daemon at "(hostname):9102". ERR=Interrupted system call Does every connection count as a "job"? And do I have any recourse other than either wondering if one of the jobs will actually finish getting through the remaining 70+GB before the end of the day when the user will no doubt unplug his laptop and go home with it (leaving us still needing to get a full backup to run again most of the day tomorrow), or halting the bacula director entirely to "crash" the job, also probably leaving us unable to finish the full backup before quittin' time today and therefore still needing to do a full backup tomorrow again? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nokia and AT&T present the 2010 Calling All Innovators-North America contest Create new apps & games for the Nokia N8 for consumers in U.S. and Canada $10 million total in prizes - $4M cash, 500 devices, nearly $6M in marketing Develop with Nokia Qt SDK, Web Runtime, or Java and Publish to Ovi Store http://p.sf.net/sfu/nokia-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
