Hello,

Sven gave a very nice comment.  However, please note that the error message was generated by the
operating system, and though it might be a bit confusing in this context, it is probably reasonable, because
Bacula was apparently attempting something not permitted on that "virtual" file.

Best regards,
Kern

Hello -  I am running Bacula Version: 9.6.6 on OpenSuSE Leap 15.2 and I just set it up to backup my laptop. It worked except that I got tons of warning messages such as the following -

04-Oct 03:05 bigbang-fd JobId 1782: Error: Read error on file /sys/kernel/slab/:d-0001024/alloc_calls. ERR=Function not implemented
04-Oct 03:05 bigbang-fd JobId 1782: Error: Read error on file /sys/kernel/slab/:d-0001024/free_calls. ERR=Function not implemented
04-Oct 03:05 bigbang-fd JobId 1782: Error: Read error on file /sys/kernel/slab/TCPv6/alloc_calls. ERR=Function not implemented
04-Oct 03:05 bigbang-fd JobId 1782: Error: Read error on file /sys/kernel/slab/TCPv6/free_calls. ERR=Function not implemented

I took a look at these files and the only thing of interest is that these are all empty files that were installed by the distro. But these files do exist and do have the same ownership/permissions that other files have that are successfully backed up.  Any ideas on how to clear up this sea of warning messages I am getting?

FWIW - Seems to me that the developers could have come up with a better ERR message. Like saying what function was not implemented, or explaining why this failure is occurring. Something to give the users a better idea on how to handle/fix the problem. Or at a minimum telling the user that a serious problem occurred and to contact the developers if no solution is available for users. IMHO of course...

Thanks in advance for helping me with this,  Marc...
