No, i do not really want to argue too much. It was just a stray idea. And
when there would be a prebuilt, working solution - one that probably takes
your arguments into account and heats up the disk(s), before it fully
uses it - it would not be a bad thing. And when every bacula user in the
whole world would use it... ;-)

Thanks, this saved my time, because i planned to dig through the code
before i open a bug. I think i save even more time and do _not_ open
a bug :)

  A bconsole script can do the job though -- you basically 
 have to give the right responses to a couple of prompts.

Yes, that's acceptable, because the pool config is normally static during
tests. For a general solution i could write an expect script.

 It is probably much easier to do:

Yes, i understood. But during the dialog it presents a list with the
names of the configured pools and a list of volumes. This lists can
change from time to time or from site to site. This is what i meant.
A general script could just be called as uv pool-name.

 I think this is a case where, at least as an interim measure, the
 documentation should be amended to add a note something to the effect of:
 
 While it is possible to reload the Director's configuration on the fly,
 even while jobs are executing, this is a complex operation and not
 without side effects.  Accordingly, if you have to reload the Director's
 configuration while Bacula is running, it is advisable to restart the
 Director at the next convenient opportunity.

I also prefer to restart the daemons instead of doing a reload. And for
sure i will do restart the daemons after i used reload.
But when i experiment around (with retention timings and update pool/media
in my case), reload is just faster. And i did it while there was _no_
other activity. Nonetheless it stopped working after 10 reloads.

 I don't know which version of bacula you use, but in the development 
 version there is the command 'update all volumes from pool' which should 
 do what you want.

Sorry. I'm running the development version (very latest from CVS).
'update all volumes from pool[=pool-name]' does the same as
'update pool[=pool-name]'. The media/volume records are unchanged.

Re: [Bacula-users] Using wild with dot files

2005-09-05 Thread Matthias Kurz
On Mon, Sep 05, 2005, Michael Carey wrote:

 Hi all,
 
 I'm using Bacula 1.36.3. I've been trying to set up fileset  
 exclusions for a number of Mac related files that start with a dot  
 (e.g. '.AppleDB' on Linux systems running netatalk;  '.DS_Store',  
 and files starting with '._' on a Windows system, that get left  
 behind after a Mac file copy.) I initially tried the following 'wild'  
 matches:
 
 wildfile = .DS_Store
 wildfile = ._*
 
 wilddir = .AppleDB
 
 None of the above seemed to work. After a lot of trial and error, I  
 found that adding a '*' in front of each name did the trick, so the  
 entries became:
 
 wildfile = *.DS_Store
 wildfile = *._*
 
 wilddir = *.AppleDB
 
 Can anyone shed any light on this? If this is the intended behaviour,  
 should it be noted in the documentation?

This is at least not the expected behaviour :) The problem seems to
be that not the basename is matched against the pattern from the Wild*
directive, but the whole path.
That it is recommended to enclose the string in double quotes, _is_
documented. This doesn't play a role here, though.

The FileSet resource is utterly complex. It would be nice when the
estimate command could list all files and directories that are
_filtered_. This would make it easier to see what is really excluded
from backups.

BTW:
wildfile = *.DS_Store
does also match all files with the extension .DS_Store (e.g.
bla.DS_Store. It would probably be better to use:
wildfile = */.DS_Store

No, it uses the pool that is defined in the Job resource. If no pool is
defined, you get an error. I just tried it. Actually, Pool is a required
directive in the Job resource. There is no default. You have to specify
one, even when you plan to override it in the Schedule resource.

 No change, because to the best of my knowledge none of these use Bacula

Well, when you mean http://www.bacula.org/OpenSourceFunding.html; with
the doc. I did read it before i posted :-) And the last sentence in the
paragraph Fee structure reads:
 ... By the way, a source rpm would probably be included in the binary

 If some Open Source project wants to re-distribute our binaries, we will need 
 to discuss it.

 Yes, of course.  The source is open for everyone to use.  Even companies and 
 others can avoid any charges by building from source.

Sorry, when i pester you too much :) Will there be restrictions in the

Well, it's probably easy to write a wrapper around all of the binaries,
like the (modified) bconsole wrapper below. But that's ugly. I'm not
so sure whether changing the lookup from . to $prefix/etc/bacula is
convenient in all situations. E.g. on a rescue CD. Maybe a combination
of $HOME/.bacula with a bacula.conf file in it that has a configdir
directive. I wish i had kept my mouth shut.

 Yes we do, cause we use tapes. ;^)
 With using the Max Use Duration you can limit the use of your disks.
 When you set it to 23h you make sure it wont get used after that - e.g. for 
 the next days backup. And they remain used for the Volume Retention, 6 
 days 
 in your config.

Now, it would be nice if it would be possible to spin down the disks after
usage.

[Bacula-users] default location of config files ?

2005-07-18 Thread Matthias Kurz

Hi.

Why is the default location for config files the current directory and
not the directory that was configured with --sysconfdir ?
