the regression test works because the whole testsuite is run on the same machine. Bareos (and Bacula, too?) backs up the fifo, but never reads from it. The program feeding into the FIFO waits patiently until the *verifcation script* reads from it. What happens is, in effect, the same as: mkfifo /tmp/some.fifo cat /boot/vmlinuz > /tmp/some.fifo cmp /boot/vmlinz /tmp/some.fifo Bareos never reads the FIFO. I fear that this might be a bug. --- Eric -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "bareos-users" group.
