The parameter (10000000) in catreq.c is not the total size of the spool file. It is the maximum record size within the spool file, which is typically several orders of magnitude smaller than 10000000. > then again our job used to work for years without > any issues, things only started to go wrong on bacula 9.6.5 or > thereabouts. That's interesting. There was a bug in 9.6.4 which changed the way that Bacula locks access to the catalog (but I'm not sure how it would cause this problem). Do you run concurrent jobs? If so, you could try updating to 9.6.7 plus this patch: https://www.bacula.org/git/cgit.cgi/bacula/commit/bacula/src/dird/dird.c?h=Branch-11.0&id=9ddd829414bb4b1f8330f71824f0ef5675e957a8 Don't be mislead by the change reason in this patch -- it changes much more than just the 'show catalog' command. This patch will probably work in 9.6.5 as well. __Martin _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
