Hello all, I've run into a fairly severe problem which I'm having some difficulty resolving. The background is this: I'm in the process of upgrading some drives and altering the partition layout on a system using a combination of ReaR and Bareos. I've managed to do this successfully once, but some changes in the utilization of the system have pretty royally screwed things up this time. The crux of the problem appears to be issues in the manner Bareos handles (or, more accurately, fails to handle) files which span multiple backup volumes. Bareos seems to lose some of the data when this is the case (a problem in and of itself, but not what's actually causing me trouble). I could deal with this, as these are just data files which *could* be replaced. Unfortunately, the problem is that Bareos terminates the restore when this happens, and I have been unable to find a way to circumvent this. I've managed to edit the source enough to change the Fatal Error to just an Error, but the job is still terminating. What's more, because there were no errors from the backup process, and because all other signs pointed to the system being ready for the hardware change and restore, I can no longer go back and take a new backup using a larger volume size (which would have to be 500GB or larger which is somewhat unwieldy) as the drives have been swapped and formatted. So, now I'm stuck with an unusable system which I can't restore. I am still trying to track down the code which is terminating the job (narrowed down to something in stored/attrib.c, stored/fd_cmds.c, and/or stored/block.c), but since it takes 2 days for the job to reach the failure point, it would be nice to have some definitive direction rather than just stumbling around in the dark. Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
