It isn't really a timeout, it is really a retry count. If you take the connect timeout in seconds and divide it by 10 you get the number of retries. It doesn't account for the time spent in the connect call. If the connect took zero amount of time to fail, the two would be the same thing. To make matters worse, the connect call takes a different amount of time to fail depending on whether or not a switch is involved. Hi Robert, thank you very much for your help. Your explanation made the things clearer for me. Do you know , if the algorithm you described has been changed in 1.38 ? I think, I first observed this effect on 1.38, but I don't know for sure . It dosen't matter now. I will shorten the timeout value to 30 seconds . That should decrease my timeout to approx. 10 minutes. and I can live with that. Thank you once again and greetings Marc So in your case, 5 minutes is equal to 300 seconds, divided by 10 equals 30. So you will get 30 retries. Now, on the same subnet, it takes 6 minutes and 36 seconds to do 30 retries. So it takes 1 minute and 36 seconds for 30 calls to connect to fail or roughly 3 seconds per try. On different subnets, it takes 1 hour 39 minutes and 31 seconds or 189 seconds or roughly 3 minutes per try. The reason for the differences is probably caching on the switch. I suspect that in the same subnet case the arp is failing (so the IP address can't be converted to an Ethernet address), in the other case the switch is responding to the arp and a higher level (and longer timeout) is coming into play, probably the TCP connect timer. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Marc Brückner Sent: Thursday, October 26, 2006 5:45 AM To: bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net Cc: Knischka; Holger Luedecke Subject: [Bacula-users] Different timeouts in different subnets Hi @ all Bacula users, I am using Bacula for several year now and I am really satisfied with it.

Hi, On 10/26/2006 6:34 PM, Kern Sibbald wrote: BTW: I would not recommend 1.39 for production use yet as I see some issues I find hard to analyze. For example, the DIR seems to have a serious memory leak in certain situations, Can you explain the above as I don't have any credible reports of memory leaks in the Director (but *possibly* in the tray monitor) -- i.e. there are no open bug reports as of the beginning of my vacation. Right, I didn't report anything because I haven't really investigated this. This is what happens: 1.39.26 running. Jobs are waiting for appendable tape. I get mount request mails in the usual way, i.e. when Bacula needs a tape, after one hour, two hours later, four hours and so on. My service monitoring shows me an increasing memory usage on the Bacula server. After a while, services fail - they don't accept connections anymore - and the DIR is among them. Monitoring fails, too, because snmp is always among the failing services ;-( When I later log in, I see that some processes are gone - snmpd, bacula-dir are the most important ones. Memory is available again. The log states that the kernel killed some processes due to memory allocation problems. This is a linux 2.4.something kernel, so there is neither a way to tune the oom-killer actions nor does it log as extensively as does 2.6. This happened twice. I switched back to 1.39.24 to see if that changes things, but did not have an out-of-tape situation and couldn't find time to create one for testing purposes. and the SD sometimes blocks waiting for jobs tapes without any possible way of getting it to continue... I'd also like more information on this, unless you are referring to the bug report open on this which is triggered by Always Open=no. Again, not really investigated. Happended with .24 and .24, though. The situation is this: - A job with retrying setup runs, and uses one pool. - There are no tapes from that pool loaded, so the device is blocked waiting for media. - Other jobs wait for the tape drive it uses. - The first job fails due to the client going away, the DIR reports it as being rescheduled. - The job remains active in the SD but obviously doesn't do any work. This state of things seems to not time out - I had Bacula sitting like this four more than six hours. I can unmount the drive, swap tapes, 'update slots scan', mount, etc., but that doesn't have any effect. I can manually cancel the job that's stuck in the SD, but that cancel doesn't seem to be propagated to the SD. The only solution I found was restarting the SD. Thereby, of course, failing some of the waiting jobs... And I agree with you that 1.39, is not yet ready for critical production. I hope to get some useful debug logs some time...

Re: [Bacula-users] Different timeouts in different subnets
I doubt this has anything to do with DNS. DNS is used to convert a hostname into an IP address. If there was an error at that stage the error would be something like Host not found. Also there would be no retries and the FDCONNECT timeout wouldn't come into play. In addition, it is most likely going to be the same DNS for different subnets in a corporation or at the very least they'll be configured with the same timeouts. To have a routing problem you have to be at the stage of sending packets. Once you have an IP address you need to figure out which interface to send it on. So if it wasn't on the same subnet and there were no default gateway configured you could end up with a no route to host. But that wouldn't be affected by whether the host were up or not. So it must be able to figure out which interface to use. So now you need to figure out to which Ethernet MAC address the packet should be addressed. This process uses the ARP protocol (Address Resolution Protocol). For the same subnet it tries to map the hosts IP address to a MAC address. For different subnets, it tries to map the IP address of the default gateway. So I stand by my original problem analysis. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Arno Lehmann Sent: Friday, October 27, 2006 2:44 AM To: bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] Different timeouts in different subnets Hi, just some minor correction (or assumption...): On 10/27/2006 5:54 AM, Robert Nelson wrote: ...

There's really no magic involved. 2 - Where can the System Admin change the passwords to something other than what was installed by default? In the configuration files. Just where the manual describes it. A pointer would be nice. Seems like a big security hole, to have a password to my data backup system that I don't know the password for nor how to change it. Then you should really read the manual, and have a look at the configuration files. Hmmm, have read it. That's why I posted the question here, just looking for help.

[Bacula-users] querying database for filenames by checksum?
I've got a sudden need to determine whether there's a copy of a particular file anywhere on our systems, even if it's been renamed. I really don't want to do terrible things with shell scripts and find and md5sum and so forth across ~9TB of data (on ~15 servers). It was absolutely terrific to be able to query the Bacula database to search for the file by name and get a quick answer. Is there any similar way to query the database for a single filename (a fully qualified host:/path/to/file), and have the query return all entries where the checksum matches the specified file, regardless of their name or location? I'd be very grateful if anyone could contribute a snippet of SQL...

Re: [Bacula-users] Restoring files with hard links - Cyrus IMAP
Hello, It seems to me that this problem is similar or identical to one recently reported, and if I am not mistaken, it invoved Cyrus IMAP files. Unfortunately, we never got to the bottom of the problem. It would help if you would do the following: 1. Switch this thread to the bacula-devel list as that is where I see all the emails. 2. Do a stat xxx and stat yyy on the two mailboxes in question that should be hard linked. If I am not mistaken, their names are /common/cyrus/user/wang/30. and .../aarsyad/239. 3. Move the two current files to another location i.e. x30. and x239. then try the restore. You can always move them back. 4. Check during the restore that both files are actually selected for restore. When you mark one for restore, Bacula *should* mark both of them for restore. You can check by cd'ing to each directory while in the Bacula restore tree command in bconsole and doing a dir xxx and dir yyy on the two files. I'd really like to resolve this problem. Best regards, Kern Dear All I am trying to restore one users mailbox to another location since I do not want to damage the current mailbox.

Re: [Bacula-users] Can't write to the tape
Hi, On 10/26/2006 6:34 PM, Kern Sibbald wrote: BTW: I would not recommend 1.39 for production use yet as I see some issues I find hard to analyze. For example, the DIR seems to have a serious memory leak in certain situations, Can you explain the above as I don't have any credible reports of memory leaks in the Director (but *possibly* in the tray monitor) -- i.e. there are no open bug reports as of the beginning of my vacation. Right, I didn't report anything because I haven't really investigated this. This is what happens: 1.39.26 running. Jobs are waiting for appendable tape. I get mount request mails in the usual way, i.e. when Bacula needs a tape, after one hour, two hours later, four hours and so on. My service monitoring shows me an increasing memory usage on the Bacula server. After a while, services fail - they don't accept connections anymore - and the DIR is among them. Monitoring fails, too, because snmp is always among the failing services ;-( When I later log in, I see that some processes are gone - snmpd, bacula-dir are the most important ones. Memory is available again. The log states that the kernel killed some processes due to memory allocation problems. This is a linux 2.4.something kernel, so there is neither a way to tune the oom-killer actions nor does it log as extensively as does 2.6. This happened twice. I switched back to 1.39.24 to see if that changes things, but did not have an out-of-tape situation and couldn't find time to create one for testing purposes. It might be useful to turn on tracing with a very low debug level, then when you see the Director increasing memory usage, idle it down by cancelling all the jobs and then stop it. Hopefully, the trace file would then show the ophan buffer dump and give us an idea what code is eating up memory ... and the SD sometimes blocks waiting for jobs tapes without any possible way of getting it to continue... I'd also like more information on this, unless you are referring to the bug report open on this which is triggered by Always Open=no. Again, not really investigated. Happended with .24 and .24, though. The situation is this: - A job with retrying setup runs, and uses one pool. - There are no tapes from that pool loaded, so the device is blocked waiting for media. - Other jobs wait for the tape drive it uses. - The first job fails due to the client going away, the DIR reports it as being rescheduled. - The job remains active in the SD but obviously doesn't do any work. This state of things seems to not time out - I had Bacula sitting like this four more than six hours. I can unmount the drive, swap tapes, 'update slots scan', mount, etc., but that doesn't have any effect. I can manually cancel the job that's stuck in the SD, but that cancel doesn't seem to be propagated to the SD. The only solution I found was restarting the SD. Thereby, of course, failing some of the waiting jobs... And I agree with you that 1.39, is not yet ready for critical production. I hope to get some useful debug logs some time...

[Bacula-users] Question on boostrap files (bsr files)
I don't quite get the purpose of bootstrap files. If I backup my Postgres database nightly, do I need bootstrap files? I'm under the impression I don't. They seem to only be used on restores and if you have the whole database you don't need them. Right? I'm currently writing out a bootstrap file for each one of my jobs using the Write Bootstrap entry. Is this necessary? Can I just remove the entry to write out the bootstrap file? The manual, on the 5th page of the section entitled The Bootstrap File, shows an example where a single volume is restored and it says that one is a Full backup and the following three are all Incremental backups. Is there any way to tell from the output given. I couldn't tell from the output given. Or do we have to give another command to know this? Thanks for all your help.
