Hello all,
I recently inherited a Bacula installation (version 7.0.5, running on a CentOS
6 server), but have no experience with Bacula. Full backups go to tape, with
incremental backups going to a local disk on the Bacula server. The tape
backups have so far been (mostly) successful. However, the incremental backups
have been having consistent problems that I'm really not sure what to do to
troubleshoot.
The backups will frequently get stuck with this showing up when I do "status
storage":
Device "BaremetalIncrStorage" (/vol-back2/BaremetalIncr) is not open.
Device is BLOCKED waiting for mount of volume "BareIncr-34198",
Pool: BareIncrWeekly
Media type: File
I've tried restarting the server with no change in behavior. What I've been
able to do so far is to "touch BareIncr-XXXXX", give it the appropriate
permissions, and then go to bconsole and mount the "BaremetalIncrStorage". It
then sees the file it's looking for and continues on its merry way, until it
gets stuck again. It doesn't get stuck on every job, but it seems to happen
almost daily, and the job it gets stuck on is not always the same one (although
it seems there are some that get stuck more than others).
The disk it is backing up to has 85 GB free at the moment, so I don't think
it's a disk space issue.
I've pasted in the configuration for the corresponding pool, storage, and
device below. Thanks for any help anyone can provide!
Pool
{
Name = BareIncrWeekly
Pool Type = Backup

}
Device
{
Name = BaremetalIncrStorage
Media Type = File
Archive Device = /vol-back2/BaremetalIncr
LabelMedia = Yes;
