[Bacula-users] Bacula ignores Maximum Block Size and Maximum Network Buffer Size

[Bacula-users] possible memory leak in bacula/ubuntu/64-bit
Hi, I was looking at the output of htop today and noticed that the bacula-fd process, although entirely idle was the highest memory process on the server. The output was: PID USER PRI NI VIRT RES SHR S CPU% MEM% TIME+ Command 3949 root 20 0 219M 63296 936 S 0.0 1.5 0:01.61 /usr/sbin/bacula-fd -c /etc/bacula/bacula-fd.conf 3952 root 20 0 219M 63296 936 S 0.0 1.5 0:00.81 /usr/sbin/bacula-fd -c /etc/bacula/bacula-fd.conf I stopped the file daemon, started it again and its memory usage fell quite dramatically. Initially it looked like this: PID USER PRI NI VIRT RES SHR S CPU% MEM% TIME+ Command 12768 root 20 0 66512 1616 632 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 /usr/sbin/bacula-fd -c /etc/bacula/bacula-fd.conf 12769 root 20 0 66512 1616 632 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 /usr/sbin/bacula-fd -c /etc/bacula/bacula-fd.conf Some minutes later: PID USER PRI NI VIRT RES SHR S CPU% MEM% TIME+ Command 12768 root 20 0 74708 1856 860 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.01 /usr/sbin/bacula-fd -c /etc/bacula/bacula-fd.conf 12769 root 20 0 74708 1856 860 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 /usr/sbin/bacula-fd -c /etc/bacula/bacula-fd.conf where it seems pretty stable. The server (and therefore bacula-fd process) had been up a couple of weeks and has daily incrementals, weekly differentials and monthly full backups scheduled with the accurate option on and compression and encryption off. A full backup is just shy of 500GB. The FD listens on both IPv4 and IPv6 and the backups generally happen over IPv6. Any thoughts?

[Bacula-users] cannot build BAT - hopefully something simple?
Good morning! New bacula user here-- I'm building bacula on a RedHat 5.5 server. I built the depkgs-qt, sourced the paths - but when I try to build Bacula (the following is a snippet from my .configure...)- I get the following: Creating bat Makefile QMAKESPEC has not been set, so configuration cannot be deduced. Error processing project file: /usr/local/src/bacula/bacula-5.0.3/src/qt-console/bat.pro make: *** No rule to make target `clean'. Stop. Doing make of dependencies .. Afterward, the rest of bacula appears to build OK, but I can't build BAT - which I'd really like to use. qmake is defined properly, as are the qt-related paths: # which qmake /usr/local/src/bacula/depkgs-qt/qt4/bin/qmake # printenv | grep Q QTDIR=/usr/local/src/bacula/depkgs-qt/qt4 QTINC=/usr/local/src/bacula/depkgs-qt/qt4/include QTLIB=/usr/local/src/bacula/depkgs-qt/qt4/lib Any help is appreciated! -kent -- AppSumo Presents a FREE Video for the SourceForge Community by Eric Ries, the creator of the Lean Startup Methodology on Lean Startup Secrets Revealed.

[Bacula-users] Saving just the metadata and not the data
Hi all
There are some situations where knowing which files you had and how
they were organized is more important than the data on the files
themselves.
I'll give you an example: you collected a great amount of files
mirrored from different places on the internet, like say media files,
or linux packages repositories, or ISOs downloaded from different
places, and organized them carefully in a specific hierarchy to
satisfy a project you are developing which will use this data. Also
the permissions and ACLs on the dirs are of more importance than the
data. If you ever loose that data, you could re-download all of them
again, you would just want to have the file tree and all the metadata
saved to save you time when re-arranging it all (if space on the tapes
were a big deal or the collection is really huge, you don't need to
backup the data).
Is there a good way to do this with bacula? I can see some client
run script that would generate a list on the client filesystem
(dumping metadata -- acls, permissions, etc.) and backup it together
with other data, but that would be a re-implementation of what bacula
does best and I would like very much to have this handled by bacula
itself, to have the file list available in the bacula database as if
they were legitimate files, just happening to being empty of data on
the tapes. I could even want to restore them (giving me files of 0
bytes back on the disk).
The ideal world would be to have a different keyword for that in the FileSet:
FileSet {
Name = Complete
Include {
Options {
Signature = MD5
}
File = /
File = /boot
JustMetadata = /data
}
}
I guess that's not possible, is there an equivalent way in funcionatily?
Thanks!
Andre

After a mistake I mad, I need to restore my catalog. So I tried to use bextract in order to restore a 51 MB file from a volume-disk file of 20GB. bextract hangs a lot: 100% CPU used, no I/O wait at all. After several minutes of run, I stopped it without any success: restored file with created, but empty. Since I really need this file, I've tried the 32bit version of bextract on the same system: worked fine ! I've tried to debug it by the use of strace, but I'm not clever enough to find anything usefull in these outputs. (please find the strace files attached to this email) So I don't know if it's a bug from the packaging or a bextract bug related to 64bit platform ? If someone has a clue ... To find out where is it looping, attach gdb to the process when it is hanging (use gdb -p $pidofbextract) and then issue the gdb commands thread apply all bt detach quit Do this a few times to get an idea of how it changes. Hello, Thanks for your help. Once bextract has started, I've launched a batched gdb once per minute with the gdb commands you provided. gdb then always shows a similar output like this (see below): - adresses of the Thread 1 stack are always the same - addresss of the Thread 2 stack: only #0 and #1 are different (inflate_table() and inflate()), - Thread 1: sometime call to inflate_table() does not appears # while [ 1 ]; do gdb -p `pgrep bextract` -x gdb.show-backtrace.commands ; sleep 4; done == gdb sample output == This GDB was configured as x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu.

So I just have to wait some weeks for the 5.2 release or backport the patch on the 5.0.3 code on my own, right ? In the interval, I will avoid to make things implying the use of bextract :-) Another thing: bextract and bconsole do not have the same entry point for libz.so, and only for that one; does it mean they do not use libz the same way ?
