Wanted 1969368434 > bytes, maximum permitted 1000 bytes It seems that an invalid message was found in the spool file, this size is the expected size of the message, that is rarely more than few hundred bytes. It can be some error message for example (low disk space?). You might want to diagnose in the Storage daemon when we write to thespool file and track when the msglen is > 100 for example. (Display the packet in the trace file for example. Hope it helps!

OK, so refactor is just a way to make simple things sound complicated...I would call that renaming the function and you obviously also have to change the single use of it as well :-) __Martin ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

Thank you for the quick reply. I will give that a try.

Wanted 1969368434 > bytes, maximum permitted 1000 bytes How large is the attribute spool file? This could be a bug. Is it repeatable? If so, does it repeat with this same number (1969368434)? __Martin ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

... I have no idea why, when I copied that as "Name = DUMMY". it pasted
as "Name = Dummy".
Possibly Thunderbird is being a dummy.

Try Client = ALL and Fileset = DUMMY, with those defined as follows:
# Fake client for copy jobs
Client {
Name = ALL
Address = localhost
Password = NONE
Catalog = Catalog
}
FileSet {
Name = Dummy
Include {

signature = MD5
}

[Bacula-users] Copy / migrate job settings
Hi, I want to use a copy job to create copies for offsite storage. While creating the settings in the bacula-dir.conf I had to define entries for client and fileset, even so I want to copy complete tapes with many jobs and clients. Which "client" would you put there? The same is with "fileset", what do you put there?

[Bacula-users] Error on despooling attributes in catreq.c: wanted xxx bytes, maximum permitted 10000000 bytes
Hi folks, during a largish backup job (3,8TB windows fileserver, about 5m files & directories) I'm seeing this error when the attributes are being despooled once the job completes: Fatal error: catreq.c:762 fread attr spool error. Wanted 1969368434 bytes, maximum permitted 1000 bytes I've searched the mailing list and the documentation for a possible variable related to attribute spooling, but I can only find options that regulate disk / job spooling. I'd be most grateful if someone could direct me to the correct configuration parameter.[1] We're using bacula 9.6.5 compiled from source on CentOS7. Thanks in advance & all the best, Uwe [1] I'd also have no problem with patching catreq.c and recompiling, but hopefully there's a supported way of adjusting this variable. -- Uwe Schürkamp | email: Arvato Systems S4M GmbH | Sitz Köln | Amtsgericht Köln HRB 27038 ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
