Hi List,
we are running bacula 5.2.6 on Debian squeeze (Packet 5.2.6+dfsg8~bpo60+1 from
Squeeze Backports) and after a crash of our bacula director on sunday night we
are experiencing some weird behaviour.
Some of our jobs keep failing since then (but not every day). Out of several
hundred jobs per night, a small subset performs a full backup every night into
the same pool (which contains 14 volumes to retain the backups for two weeks).
However, since that crash the bacula director seems to pick the wrong volume
from a DIFFERENT pool and the jobs simply stall and do nothing until they get
killed or the SD gets restarted etc. We do not use tapes, all of our
pools/volumes are file-based.
Here is an example output from the SD status:
Writing: Full Backup job server01.domain.net JobId=438027
Volume="SomeOtherPool-Daily-0000"
pool="SERVER-Backups" device="DeviceSERVER" (/backup/SERVER)
spooling=0 despooling=0 despool_wait=0
Files=0 Bytes=0 Bytes/sec=0
FDSocket closed
Writing: Full Backup job server02.domain.net JobId=438033
Volume="SomeOtherPool-Daily-0000"
pool="SERVER-Backups" device="DeviceSERVER" (/backup/SERVER)
spooling=0 despooling=0 despool_wait=0
Files=0 Bytes=0 Bytes/sec=0
FDSocket closed
However, the volume "SomeOtherPool-Daily-0000" belongs to a different Pool on a
different device (Pool: SomeOtherPool, Device: DeviceOther, Path:
/backup/Other...you get the idea). As you can see below, there are no
scratchpools etc. configured and there is aboslutely no link between
"SERVER-Backups" and "SomeOtherPool").
Here is the SD Definition:
Device {
Name = DeviceSERVER
Media Type = File
Archive Device = /backup/SERVER
LabelMedia = yes;
Random Access = Yes;
AutomaticMount = yes;
RemovableMedia = no;
AlwaysOpen = no;
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 8
}
Storage-Definition:
Storage {
Name = FileStorageSERVER
Address = sd.domain.net
SDPort = 9103
Password = "whatevergoeshere"
Device = DeviceSERVER
Media Type = File
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 8
TLS Require = yes
TLS CA Certificate File = ca.pem
TLS Certificate = cert.pem
TLS Key = key.pem
}
Pool-Definition:
Pool {
Name = SERVER-Backups
Pool Type = Backup
Storage = FileStorageSERVER
AutoPrune = yes
Recycle = yes
RecyclePool = SERVER-Backups
Recycle Oldest Volume = yes
Volume Use Duration = 23 hours
VolumeRetention = 12 days
Maximum Volumes = 16
LabelFormat = "SERVER-Backups-${NumVols:p/4/0/r}"
}

Rudolph Bott
