Why are you trying to allocate a 2 MB buffer for your tape driver?
Bacula will write in 63 KiB blocks, so you should never need that
much.
What does your /etc/stinit.def look like? [Or where else do you
configure your tape driver to use such buffers?]

Re: [Bacula-users] Migrating form mysql to postgresql: Duplicate filename entries?
On Wed, 29 Jun 2011 22:40:16 +0100, Gavin McCullagh said: The database was originally made in Ubuntu Hardy which was v2.x as I recall now. We then upgraded to v3 (ubuntu packages built using the debian package git archive as we needed volume shadow copy support under Win64) and since then moved to v5 using the Lucid packages. So, yes, made by old versions. Am I missing a constraint I should have? No, the current MySQL table definitions don't have that constraint either. I think Bacula has very few constraints for performance reasons. I was wondering about old versions because that increases the chance that a bug in Bacula caused it long ago. Bacula's dbcheck program has an option to eliminate the duplicates, which suggests that it was a problem at some time in the past. __Martin -- All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.

Just for fun I tried again :

created magazine 1 in bay 1
[/mnt/vchanger/49299ccc-6489-43f8-9536-d63dd3de9663]
So the disk-group can initialize the magazine, the bacula-group has
problems.
I looked at the udev-rules, but there is nothing there that rings a bell.
So, bacula:bacula cannot write, but bacula:disk can, yet all accessed
directories appear to be owned by bacula:bacula? What group does the
bacula-sd daemon run as? On Fedora, it is typical for bacula-dir to run
as bacula:bacula, while bacula-sd runs as bacula:disk. Perhaps this is
an selinux thing? Maybe the simple solution is to change everything to
be owned by bacula:disk and run bacula-sd as bacula:disk.

I found that the problem is that vchanger try to access the device

Could be. If magazines are specified by UUID, then libblkid functions
are used to discover the device node with that UUID, followed by a
getmntent() call to query the mountpoint path. Either libblkid or
getmntent() is very likely making the stat64() call on the device node.

That, or run bacula-sd as bacula:disk, rather than bacula:tape, if that
is possible. The user bacula-sd runs as needs read-only access in order
to look up the mountpoint using a getmntent() call.

If not, you might be able to automate key creation and distribution in some way (scripting, puppet, ... whatever you like).

The way package dependencies are handled in Ubuntu can be bit confusing at times. I have Bacula installed in 10.10 and I find all the configuration files in /etc/bacula. You can find state files in /var/lib/bacula and log in /var/lob/bacula. I am using MySQL though. Thanks, Venkatesh K -- All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable. Why?

I like postgres and that's what I kept selecting. Is the apt-get or aptitude convenience that people like or is there an aversion to compiling? It is easy and you have so many configure options to select from. Mehma -- All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable. Why?
