[Bacula-users] Multiple directors, one catalog...
Hi there, there are references in the documentation to running multiple catalogs per director (data about different jobs go to different DBs). I wonder, Is it safe to have several directors using the same catalog? cheers, B _ {Beto|Norberto|Numard} Meijome I detest people who take shortcuts rather than do things right, because they leave shit for the rest of us to clean up.

[Bacula-users] Bacula 5.0.2 needs readline-devel as dependency
Currently, it is impossible for me to build the rpm packages for CentOS5 x86_64, because you added readline-devel as a dependency into the spec file. That package does not exist on CentOS5/RHEL. I always thought bacula picks the readline lib during configure stage, so why is this dependency in the spec file?

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula with RHEL 5.4 and MSL2024
It is very likely problem with RHEL 5.4 kernel's Fibre Driver, you can try to update the kernel to the latest version and see if it works. If not, pls try to grab the latest Fibre Card's driver from the hardware manufacturer's website.

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula 5.0.2 PostgreSQL 8.4.3: ERROR: new row for relation pool violates check constraint
Maybe you have a bad configuraion in bacula-dir.conf file. In the table pool in bacula Postgres Database exists this contrainst: CONSTRAINT pool_pooltype CHECK (pooltype = 'Backup'::text OR pooltype = 'Copy'::text OR pooltype = 'Cloned'::text OR pooltype = 'Archive'::text OR pooltype = 'Migration'::text OR pooltype = 'Scratch'::text) It seems is trying to insert a Restore Pool type and it isn't allowed, look at the constraint.
