Package: bacula-director-mysql
Version: 1.36.2-2

I've been working lately with bacula in order to provide a more serious backup 
solution at my office. First I ran it with postgresql what gave me lot of 
problems with unicode, before trying to see why I switched to mysql cause we 
really needed the backup service up and running. Once on mysql everything 
started to run smoothly till I tried to backup our ~170GiB of samba folders 
then I started to see how the director froze without reporting any error, the 
process was still running but no there were no response from it trying to 
connect with bconsole locally, (I haven't debug/trace anything yet), the 
Storage and File daemons kept working till they finished the backup but it 
wasn't registered so it is nothing useful.

I have tried to activate the data spooling feature in order to speed up 
everything it freezes, I have tried to split the backup in ~40GiB jobs still 
freezes and also tried to run them concurrently but nothing worked. I have in 
mind that it could be something related to threading so I have compiled 
manually the latest release of Bacula (1.38.11) which has done a full backup of 
my splited samba folders and also regular full backups of all my other jobs 
(12). So it seems to be more stable and reliable than the version on Debian's 
package.

If needed I could try to activate some debug or trace, is there any plan to 
upgrade the package in a near future?


Thanks.
