[Bacula-users] data key rollover strategy

My alerting system tells me that I have some file daemons that have been merrily encrypting their data for quite a while. In particular, the expiry dates for the data encryption x509 certs are coming up soon. Well, this brings up an interesting question that I'd not really considered in depth:

I was under the impression that the maximum size of a file that can be backed up would be either 2^63 or 2^64 bytes, but I can't seem to find anything in the manuals or via google-fu that confirms this. Does anyone have any positive information regarding the maximum file size limit? Devin

That's kernel space, not application space. Your most likely culprits are bad memory or excess heat. Try to log/graph lmsensors for the latter, and run memtest86 (for at least one full run) for the former. Also look at any other hardware monitors you might have available, including smartd.
