Re: [Bacula-users] Backup terminated during tape change.
I decided to prune the tapes and start the backup over again. After having a few problems. I forgot to remove the write protection from the first tape so the prune did not work although I don't remember getting an error. When I started the backup the job terminated and the software said the tape was at EOM. Then I messed up with the tape when I issued an erase command to mt. That took forever. But now all is well the backup is started. At 2 tapes per day it's going to take 4 days to complete unless I can get someone to change the tape in the evening...

The weekly full backup goes to tape and the daily incremental backup goes to an extern harddisk. It works fine for backing up 1 client, but when I want to backup from the 2 clients I cannot get the backup on the same tape. The tape which already has the pre-labeled Volume Weekly001 from client1 doesn't accept another Volume. I ran into the same situation with the catalog backup.

Could a problem with curses be involved? I had to install this (ncurses) since it was not part of the standard Mandrake setup - so many really useful things are not. I had to find a version of zlib for Mandrake to get bacula to build with MySQL. I tried to look at the bconsole code but I am not good enough to figure it out in a few minutes. console seems to contain a lot of the functionality to get it started. For the amount of functionality that it displays in my test, I should not be looking at a lot of code. ./bconsole -? should not get to deep into the code before it is done. I can see the section where the output is formulated but I do not understand how it gets there (or does not in my case) I am do not have a clear picture of the flow - where it starts , how it reads the command line and how it dispatches to the section that outputs the help. I did not come across any code that I could see spawning a new process but perhaps I would not recognize it unless the author has put a comment to that effect. It can not be that much code but there is really no roadmap for the uninitiated. The really frustrating thing is that I have had all of this stuff working together on this same hardware for a few months and it was not that easy to set up - each piece of open source is a project to install. Once I got it going, it was pretty trouble-free. It was a web server and Windows file server so I really need my backups for the client data and I was hoping to get back my configuration files to save me a lot of grief in setting up Apache, Tomcat, Samba, etc. The Madrake security stuff is a PITA by itself and I had all of the protections and access control working well.

[Bacula-users] GZIP speeds.
I've noticed quite a few threads discussing the horrendous speed drop when using GZIP, and I've seen it myself. disk-disk backups run at about 6mbyte/sec, but only 400k/sec when using GZIP1. Is bacula-fd reporting compressed output speed? Best guess is the file readahead is failing when we're using gzip, meaning we read, compress, then begin reading again. Ideally, that second read should be 'free', because the kernel has already requested it. In this case, it seems to be taking far too long. One possibility may be forking, reading in one and compressing/writing in the other. This has two nice advantages, one, lots of dual CPU systems and two even on single-processor systems we have constant banging on the IO even while the other is CPU bound. Something is very wrong, though, because gzip -6 on the same machine pulls around 5.8meg/sec. 32k buffers, no forking. Output (on mailboxes and logfiles) is around 1.4meg/second. --Dan --- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects Teams * Testing QA Security * Process Improvement Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

RE: FW: [Bacula-users] bconsole spawns thousands of copies of itself
Sorry for the stupid question. I finally got it to build a bconsole. I made a symbolic link in the /usr/include from the ncurses subdirectory for termcap.h. After that it was happy. I noticed that the Mandrake innstall of ncurses had already done that for curses.h which may have contributed to my ills since config could find curses.h and may have assumed that termcap would have to be in the same place. Bconsole runs finds my 2 director references and lets me pick one. It fails on authorization but I am used to that and will check the passwords and usenames and hosts addresses to fix that. Then I can restore my tapes and make everyone stop hating me. Thanks to everyone who helped track this down. Great questions. Even the suggestions that I did not actualy try helped point me in the right direction and I learned more than a few things about Linux.
