Dear Josh,
Thanks for releasing the vchanger script and HOWTO!
However, I found a problem around line 94:
# Create nextmag file to hold max magazine index used
if [ ! -f ${statedir}/nextmag ]; then
echo 0 ${statedir}/nextmag
It created the nextmag file with content 0. That makes the following
section allways gives error nextmag has invalid value.
# Check nextmag value
nextmag=`cat ${statedir}/nextmag`
if [ $? -ne 0 -o ${nextmag} == -o $nextmag -lt 1 -o $nextmag
-gt 99 ]; then
echo ${statedir}/nextmag has invalid value
return 1
fi
Yes, thank you. That is a bug. It should be:
# Check nextmag value
nextmag=`cat ${statedir}/nextmag`
if [ $? -ne 0 -o ${nextmag} == -o $nextmag -lt 0 -o $nextmag -gt
99 ]; then
echo ${statedir}/nextmag has invalid value
return 1
fi
I will post an updated version to this list.
Also, before and after changed the script to not gives error, I still
got the error after issue the label barcodes command:
Connecting to Storage daemon USBChanger1 at 192.168.1.1:9103 ...
3306 Issuing autochanger slots command.
Device usb-changer-1 has 0 slots.
No slots in changer to scan.
I run the script by hand to test output:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] bacula]# ./vchanger /etc/bacula/vchanger1.conf slots
7
It reports 7 slots correctly. Could you give me some hints? I am
using Bacula 1.38.11 on RHEL 4 clone.
Did you run the test by hand as root? If so, then it is likely a
permissions problem. Normally, vchanger will run as the user and group
that bacula-sd runs as (usually bacula.disk if installed from RPMs).
Make sure /etc/bacula/vchanger1.conf can be read by the bacula-sd user
and/or group. Likewise, make sure the bacula-sd user and/or group has
read/write permissions for the vchanger state directory (probably at
/var/bacula/vchanger1). Also, the bacula-sd user/group must have
read/write permissions for the mounted USB disk partition.
Many thanks!

Re: [Bacula-users] checksums
That's metadata. The _data_ hasn't changed. I repeat it is wasteful to back up *data* that has not changed. Some programs are smart enough to do this. I've also pointed out that we can have it both ways, if we want. Apparently some people would rather back up the same identical data over and over than have a program smart enough to tell the difference. I don't get it and hope that Kern and Co. proceed with making bacula smarter over time. M. On Nov 30, 2006, at 4:00 AM, Alan Brown wrote: They have changed - their mtime has altered. - Take Surveys.

Re: [Bacula-users] Cant mount a tape after server reboot.
I believe that is the expected behavior. The mount command mounts the volume in a particular archive device. It does not perform a load and mount for autochangers. Notice that the mount command does not ask for a slot number, thus could not possibly know what volume to load and mount. The short answer is to load a tape using mtx and then go into bconsole and issue the mount.

It is not necessary this time. However, in general, if you want something to

can more easily be overlooked.

In fact, at the current time, it is waiting for a few more financial sponsors to step forward. Out of the whole Bacula community, only two users have indicated a willingness to encourage a programmer financially. I take that to mean that most users consider that the feature is not very important ( not really true, but you probably get the idea ). M.

[Bacula-users] Volume size limits backing up to file.
Hi, I am trying to back up 60Gb of data to hard disk storage. When bacula is set up to automatically label volumes, but when a job is run it creates multiple volumes, each with a 2 Gb file size. I don't specify any maximum volume size in bacula-dir.conf. Is there any way to force Bacula to write the backup to a single volume. I am using Bacula version 1.38.11 and RHEL4. The backups are being written to a windows box mounted via smbmount. Thanks for your assistance.

Re: [Bacula-users] Cant mount a tape after server reboot.
Thank you Josh, kern, for you replies. Yes Im using 1.38.11, and the slot= does not seems to work(although bacula doesn't complaint about it) I think its logical why bacula doesnt load the tape: its because mount command is not associated to a pool(a job is!), so bacula doesnt know what tape to load. Am I right? By the way, how can I track down why the tapeloader/bacula-sd take so much time to respond? Is it normal?. Seems to me that it is waiting for something and he gets timeout. Im looking at the the debug info, and seems to me that bacula-sd is waiting for tapeloader to rewind the tape, but there is no tape on the drive. Just one other question: what is the meaning of the device is BLOCKED? Is it blocked because the device is waiting/reserved for a job?

Re: [Bacula-users] Get bacula to use whatever tape is inserted
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Yes. In fact, Bacula is more likely to use the wrong tape than the right one, in my experience... by wrong I mean not what I intended. Bacula has a fairly sophisticated mechanism for determining what tape to use. Provided you have your pools defined properly for backups, I suspect that a tape in the scratch pool would do, if you set the scratch pool up. One problem here though is that there is back and forth on whether to use the scratch pool before an available volume in the pool or not. I would argue that it should check the tape in the drive and if it's acceptable, run with it. You will not be able to re-use a wrong-labeled tape, however, I suspect. Anyways, that's a 50,000 mile view. Good luck! Gavin Conway wrote: As the subject. I've got several places where Bacula is used and unfortunately each time someone puts the wrong tape in it throws out the sequencing. Is there any way to get Bacula to use whatever tape is inserted regardless? i.e. blank tape/none-blank tape is inserted, bacula runs the backup to it, labels it and puts it into the appropriate pool.

Re: [Bacula-users] Cant mount a tape after server reboot.

Yes Im using 1.38.11, and the slot= does not seems to work(although bacula doesn't complaint about it) I think its logical why bacula doesnt load the tape: its because mount command is not associated to a pool(a job is!), so bacula doesnt know what tape to load. Am I right? Yes. By the way, how can I track down why the tapeloader/bacula-sd take so much time to respond? Is it normal?. Yes. Seems to me that it is waiting for something and he gets timeout. Yes. It probably waits for the rewind time, which by default is 5 minutes. It is configurable by a Directive. sorry about my lack of knowledge on tape drive, but is not possible to drive say I have no tape to rewind or hey, i've finished rewinding the tape? Im looking at the the debug info, and seems to me that bacula-sd is waiting for tapeloader to rewind the tape, but there is no tape on the drive. Just one other question: what is the meaning of the device is BLOCKED? Is it blocked because the device is waiting/reserved for a job? There are many reasons why a device is blocked. Usually, it gives additional details on the output. Yes i understand that, but what is means? does it mean It cant be used? how do I unblock it? I've read the documentation(bacula console.html) where you have an example, but cant figure out exactly how it works. Is there any other source of information, becides you or the bacula-users? I get a bit uncomfortable asking you this kind of questions waisting your time.

The mount command mounts the volume in a particular archive device. It does not perform a load and mount for autochangers. Notice that the mount command does not ask for a slot number, thus could not possibly know what volume to load and mount. The short answer is to load a tape using mtx and then go into bconsole and issue the mount. If I am not mistaken, you can also specify the Slot (mount storage=xxx slot=nnn) and in that case, Bacula will know what Slot to load into the drive and will proceed to do it. That is new in the 1.39 series, I think. Jaime is using 1.38.11.

Re: [Bacula-users] Volume size limits backing up to file.

When bacula is set up to automatically label volumes, but when a job is run it creates multiple volumes, each with a 2 Gb file size. I don't specify any maximum volume size in bacula-dir.conf. Is there any way to force Bacula to write the backup to a single volume. I am using Bacula version 1.38.11 and RHEL4. The backups are being written to a windows box mounted via smbmount. I think you need to mount the windows box using cifs instead as the smbfs has a 2GB limit. But keep in mind that, at least for the stable version, limiting he volume file size is a good idea anyway. The reason is that Bacula has to read the whole file instead of seeking to the position where it wants to read data. Yes, this is kind of a problem, and I believe it will be fixed in 1.40.

Re: [Bacula-users] Migrating to Bacula
Hello, On 11/30/2006 9:24 PM, Per Andreas Buer wrote: Hi. We are considering migrating to Bacula (from what we have seen - we are impressed!) and a have a question or two I hope you might help me answer. Amanda has a feature I really like. When the correct tape is missing, broken or full Amanda just spools everything. If you have a large spool, backup can run for days without hick up. So, when one has fixed the tape, one just runs amflush and all is well. How does Bacula react to having its tape drive missing? Badly :-) Currently, Bacula will only run a job if the final storage volume is available at the time the job starts. The kind of staging Amanda does is not implemented in Bacula. The upcoming solution to this is to implement a disk-to-disk-to-tape scenario where you first back up to disk, and later migrate jobs to tape. This is in the development version, and I suspect that the final version 1.40 will be released this year. If I need an urgent restore whilst backup is running - what are the consequences of aborting a backup run. The job you abort will need to be re-run. Can Bacula handle several tape drives? Yes. Will I be able to run parallel backup and restore? Yes, but... As LTO3 has a really, really high throughput (80MB/s, if I recall) I don't see much chance in using both drives in parallel. It will work, but in most cases will be severely slowed down. As you note, the throughput of one LTO-3 drive alone is enough to saturate todays computers bus bandwith. You can push the limit by using the right hardware, but it will be hard to find a (more or less) normal server that can handle moving data from the network to LTO-3 and from another LTO-3 drive to the network simultaneously. You'll most likely need higher-end server systems with multiple PCI-X or PCIe busses and lots of memory, CPU, bus and network bandwidth. When I wanted to be prepared for restores during backup runs, I'd reserve a drive in a multi-drive autochanger for manual operations like restores, and / or be ready to abort or hold backup operations during important restore jobs. Personally, I prefer to have a workstation equipped with a single drive and a configured SD available for these sorts of things. You'll have to swap tapes manually, but you will have a dedicated machine for the restore job. Any other thoughts from users who have migrated from Arkeia to Bacula would be very welcome. Do it. My little experience with Arkeia was one of the main reasons I moved to Bacula. TIA Per. Arno -- IT-Service Lehmann[EMAIL PROTECTED] Arno Lehmann http://www.its-lehmann.de - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [Bacula-users] Removable Disk HOWTO

I run the script by hand to test output: [EMAIL PROTECTED] bacula]# ./vchanger /etc/bacula/vchanger1.conf slots 7 It reports 7 slots correctly. Could you give me some hints? I am using Bacula 1.38.11 on RHEL 4 clone. Did you run the test by hand as root? If so, then it is likely a permissions problem. Normally, vchanger will run as the user and group that bacula-sd runs as (usually bacula.disk if installed from RPMs). Make sure /etc/bacula/vchanger1.conf can be read by the bacula-sd user and/or group. Likewise, make sure the bacula-sd user and/or group has read/write permissions for the vchanger state directory (probably at /var/bacula/vchanger1). Also, the bacula-sd user/group must have read/write permissions for the mounted USB disk partition. Hello Josh, You are right! It is a permission problem. I fixed it and things seem to work perfectly now. Thanks again, Michael - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
