Every few days, bacula-dir hangs, in which the process will show it's still running, but it doesn't back up anything and you cannot connect to it through the console. the only way to get it back up and running properly is to kill it and restart (I use the /etc/init.d/bacula script provided for control) Any ideas on why this might be happening?

On Friday 19 August 2005 02:04, Chris Lee wrote: I agree with Jesse that this is almost a packaging issue. However, I do think that certain files should be moved. Specifically: All daemons should go in $(sbindir). The sd tools, bconsole, and any other gui console or monitoring program should go in $(bindir). The bsmtp tool, the mtx-changer script, and any future tools which would be run by bacula but not by the user should go in $(libexecdir)/bacula. All of the extra scripts such as updatedb/* and the db creation scripts should go in $(datadir)/bacula or at least $(sysconfdir)/bacula/scripts or something where they don't clutter the top-level config directory so much. This is a bit more than a packaging issue. It is a basic Bacula Makefile issue. Thanks for detailing this. I'll wait for more comments and think about this some more. I'm not trying to be a FHS nazi here, but currently /etc/bacula gets kind of cluttered without significant packaging modifications. I also think that some of the extra scripts like the various db creation/deletion/mangling series should be installed by default. It's not a lot of work from a packaging point of view, but why write 'cp -p path/updatedb /etc/bacula/' or simliar into the distro end when it's likely that a user may need these scripts but the package manager deleted the source tree after installation? All the scripts are by default installed by the Makefiles. Perhaps some packages exclude them. The scripts in updatedb are not installed by default because they could confuse the normal user, and are useful *only* if you are upgrading multiple version numbers instead of one version to the next. Switching gears for a moment... Jesse also brought up another subject which has occurred to me as well. For the daemons I completely agree with keeping the config files in /etc/bacula but for console and gui programs it makes sense to me that these programs should look for config files in a hierarchial fashion the way other user programs do: look for the file specified with by -c, then ${HOME}/.bacula/bconsole.conf. then $(sysconfdir)/bacula/bconsole.conf. I am not likely to change my point of view on this, which is that no path should be compiled into the program. You can solve the problem by creating a script with a different name that sticks the appropriate location. Even more unlikely would be that I make Bacula search for the conf file. That would create a sysadmin's nightmare. If you *absolutely* must have bconsole start as bconsole, do the following: mv bconsole bconsole.bin echo #!/bin/sh bconsole echo $PWD/bconsole.bin -c /your-favorite-location/bconsole.conf \ bconsole chmod 700 bconsole This is really pretty trivial and makes the sysadmin aware of what he is doing as well as keeps the binary clean of paths that change during ./configure Having a ${HOME}/.bacula/ might seem unnecessary at this point, but I've also been thinking that some operators might like to tweak their own console config especially if the console program(s) ever implement certain config options which have been mentioned before such as Autodisplay = on or having multiple console levels in the same config file and maybe switching between them within the console. Plus, if any of the gui projects ever become sophisticated enough to need a complicated set of options stored in their config, this would be a good place for them if an operator/admin wanted to change gui options without affecting the default (/etc/bacula) gui options. If I am not mistaken, bconsole or gnome-console has some form of rc file where these can be put. I think that about covers my 2cts on the matter. ;-) Thanks, Chris -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kern Sibbald Sent: Thursday, 18 August, 2005 10:59 To: bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Bacula-users] Fwd: [Bacula-devel] Proposal for location of gnome-console Hello, Are there any comments on this proposal?

Re: [Bacula-users] Fwd: [Bacula-devel] Proposal for location of gnome-console
Yes, this is nice. This is the kind of approach that I would like to encourage for those who need it. Also after thinking about it a bit more, I'm convinced that as a base installation (i.e. my Makefiles), the daemons and the interface programs are all system administration tools. They can be adapted for users, but I feel that should be an explicit act of each administrator due to the security concerns.

Hello, Josh Fisher wrote: A RunBeforeJob script could mount the device with a simple mount command. It could also tell if the drive was inserted by testing whether or not the mountpoint existed. A RunAfterJob could unmount the device just as easily. Of course, if multiple drives were being used it would be neccessary to always insert the devices in the correct order so that the device with a particular bacula volume label was at the correct device node and mountpoint. A better approach would be for the RunBeforeJob script to read the bacula volume label from all inserted devices, find the mountpoint of the device containing the desired label, mount it, and then create a symlink to the mountpoint. The bacula job would use the symlink as its ArchiveDevice. I have not tried this, and I'm not sure if the RunAfterJob script could then figure out which device to unmount.

If I am not mistaken, this is part of fnctl() and the program is notified by a signal. The problem with implementing this at the moment is that Bacula is job based, and things are only backed up by a running job. Probably this could be changed, but what I would propose is that if this interests someone, he simply create a job that reads a particular file. The monitor program could then be separate from Bacula and when it wants something backed up, it writes the filename to a file and starts a Bacula job. If this were something a lot of users used and wanted, it could be more tightly integrated with Bacula later. Do we really need bacula to provide this level of fault-tolerance? I use hardware disk-mirroring and get this without a performance hit. This is possible, but I'd hate to have a job that backed up just one file at a time. As I mentioned, I think it would take a lot less rearchitecting to create something that would be an open ended job. In other words, the job starts, registers the files it's watching, and then sends those files to the sd every time they change. Then once a certain size or elapsed time is reached, the sd would despool them. A fun idea to think about at any rate. 2. Browser based recovery Anyway, perhaps php is a way we can get a graphical interface via the web. If it is possible, php is something that is feasible as I don't mind programming php. I know it can be done with Java, but I don't want to program Java, so someone else will need to do it. So, if I'm understanding this correctly, the PHP script would connect to the dir (or pipe commands through the console), and the restore would initiate, with the sd writing to the client that restored the backup. That's cool. The Python Qt GUI console is non-trivial because I haven't yet overcome the steep learning curve with *both* Python and Qt. Sounds fun. j- k- -- Michael A.

Here's a few snippets from my config files and some bacula output. Thanks for any help with this. ...

I'm looking for the labels that slide into the slot on a DLT tape. Dan: We gave up on these things a long time ago as too finicky, prone to damage and usually don't give us the barcode titles needed. I have a simple drive. No barcode function. Printing to light card label sheets has its own issues. Our solution: Brother P-touch label printers are capable of producing barcodes and their 18mm laminated tape cartridges fit the label slot perfectly at a cost of under 5c/label. Experiments have shown that barcode readers have no trouble with most tape colours and the only problem (1 in 1000+ prints) has been a glitch in the tape laminate resulting in one unreadable barcode. There are several other brands of labelmakers which will do the job... That sounds good. This is something good to have in the archives. -- Dan Langille : http://www.langille.org/ BSDCan - The Technical BSD Conference - http://www.bsdcan.org/ --- 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
[Bacula-users] mtx-changer, slot 0, and label command
The default mtx-changer script is mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d. The %S command is for Slot Base 1 and %s is for Slot Base 0. Do the %s and %S commands indicate the Slot Base Default of the AutoLoader or does it indicate the value you want the slots to begin with? The reason I ask is that Bacula queries the user for the slot number when labeling tapes. As you can see below, Bacula uses (0 for none). *label Using default Catalog name=MyCatalog DB=bacula The defined Storage resources are: 1: File 2: QuantumDLT7000 Select Storage resource (1-2): 2 Enter new Volume name: Daily01 Enter slot (0 for none): So, can one use Slot 0 or should we begin our Slot Numbers with 1? I would appreciate any insight or comments regarding the above.
