Hello Ted,
This is probably perfectly normal if you have not yet finished any
jobs. By default the Filename entries are put in the catalog at the end
of each Job. The one entry you did find is a "blank" filename which is
used when putting Directory entries into the catalog (i.e. for a
Directory the Filename is empty).
If your job finishes normally the Filename table should be filled with
the names of files that were backed up.
Best regards,
Kern

Greets - I have a new installation of Bacula on Debian Jessie
(5.2.6+dfsg-9.3) with a postgres backend. This is not my first bacula
installation (I have 5 other separate instances running on different
tape units, some single TL2000, some library changers - all happy) --
except for this new one (maybe).
I never noticed exactly when bacula writes data to the file and
filename tables - I figured it did it on the fly.
In this current instance, I am running a 4TB+ job on a single TL2000
SAS drive, and I'm currently on tape 2 of probably 5 or 6 (depending
on compression). However, there are only 7 entries in the "file" table:
1;1;5;4;1;0;0;"GgB ZgAI EHt C A A A BAA BAA I BaB4NI BaB4NI BaB4NI A A
C";"0"
2;2;5;7;1;0;0;"gC B EHt B A A A BAAA BAA IA A A A A A C";"0"
3;3;5;3;1;0;0;"gy B EHt B A A A BAAA BAA IA A A A A A C";"0"
4;4;5;6;1;0;0;"gR B EHt B A A A BAAA BAA IA A A A A A C";"0"
5;5;5;5;1;0;0;"gi B EHt B A A A BAAA BAA IA A A A A A C";"0"
6;6;5;2;1;0;0;"GgB ZgAH EHt C A A A BAA BAA I BaB4NE BaB4NE BaB4NE A A
C";"0"
7;7;5;1;1;0;0;"GgB ZgAC EHt I A A A BAA BAA I BaB4eL BaB4NI BaB4NI A A
C";"0"
and only one entry in the "filename" table:
1;"''"
Which I find rather odd.
I compared against my other sites, and they have plenty of entries,
all as expected (filenames, hashes, etc).
I am using a simplified job referencing against a pool of pre-labeled
tapes in "Default", the catalog "MyCatalog", 5 specific folders in
Full backup mode, and it was started manually in bconsole.
The database on the whole is functioning as there are plenty of log
entries, it updates the media and status tables (my favorite), but no
data of value in file and filename.
Tests listed in the FAQ show the database and sequences (indexes for
the mysql-peeps) are in ok shape and all exist. The dbase log and
verbose log don't show any dbase errors or errors related to "MyCatalog".
There are no other tables or dbases visible that seem to show
temporary storage info. Is this normal behavior, or is my large backup
slated to be an orphan?
If I need to make a fix, I'd prefer to fix it before running another
large backup, or into the scheduled daily backups (I'd rather not have
to bextract every job afterwards).
I have another day-ish of this job running (hey, its 4TB of
usb-attached storage going into the vault, no speed records to be
broken), so any thoughts would be appreciated.
Regards,
Ted.
