Hello,

Bacula should do a better job of printing an error message, but from what you show, it looks to me like your SQL instance ran out of storage space.   With the size of your backup, you really should be running PostgreSQL rather than MySQL.  It will probably be 20-30% faster (possibly more considering the number of files you are backing up).

Best regards,
Kern

Hi,

Bacula was not compiled with batch insert enabled.

The OS partition has 13 GB available. I ran the command "mysqld --verbose --help | 
grep tmp" and got the following:
max_tmp_tables                    32
slave-load-tmpdir                 /tmp
tmpdir                            (No default value)
tmp_table_size                    16777216

I was also hoping for an error message. Below is the full output from the point 
of loading the last tape.

Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula 9 "Attribute create error"

Is this the complete unedited output?  There should at least be a newline after 
"ERR=" and I would expect an error message too.

Is Bacula compiled with "batch insert" enabled?

Does the mysql temp directory have enough free space?

Hi,

I am running Bacula 9.0.2 and have started getting consistent backup failures 
with following message:

Other jobs can then write to the same tape so it is not a physical issue with 
tape or changer. I have run mysqlcheck and dbcheck on the database, but without 
any issues being identified/repaired.

Has anyone come across this issue and been able to resolve it?
