Hi all, Thanks all for the feedback. The file path was actually a symlinc that I think I had created in a weird way, ended up being recursive. I used unlink to dump it on both the source and backups server. The backup never progressed
I suspect I may have found the root cause though. I had scheduled a backup of the catalogue database and on Friday, it failed. I was using the tmp file system as mysql tmp file and it had filed up. I commented it off, restarted the catalogue and restarted the backup job. Will advice if I see the problem again. Curious, how long should LTO-6 take on average to fill up? On the third day and its yet to need the autochanger. This kind of feel too slow to me Regards, William ________________________________________ From: Martin Simmons <mar...@lispworks.com> Sent: February 18, 2019 11:49:41 AM To: William Muriithi Cc: uwe.schuerk...@bertelsmann.de; bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] Long pause with no logging or any activity at all >>>>> On Fri, 15 Feb 2019 15:10:13 +0000, William Muriithi said: > > > have you tried the "stat client" command?

Is any of it mounted from another machine (e.g. by Samba)? The localdotwine directory looks like a Wine directory to me, but it seems strange that the dosdevices directory contains a directory called z: rather than a symbolic link. __Martin _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
