Does the setting of "TWO EOF" in the bacula-sd.conf match what is reported by
the drive after you reboot?  E.g.

mt -f /dev/sa0.ctl geteotmodel

[Bacula-users] Bat Console and limited access Console Resource

2011-10-27 Thread Emanuele Verga
Hi everybody,

I was playing around with bacula and noticed that when bat is configured to
connect to a Console Resource it hangs (Bat opens, authenticates with the
server, and then it freezes, it seems it's waiting for a something).
The same configuration works perfectly if I try to connect directly to the
director (ie unlimited privileges console).
Is this behavior expected/intended, or I'm doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance for the help
Emanuele

Hi.

Do you mean the default console resource? I guess it doesn't have enough 
commands in its ACL indeed. Bat is quite needy in that matter..

I wanted to test bacula 5.2.0 but in git there is no such tag [1]. I
finally found some code archives [2] that looks a bit old (2011-08-05).

My proposition is to create new branch (Bacula-5.2.0) in git that will
be dedicated to this release and contain latest fixes.

[Bacula-users] Old version is old...

2011-10-27 Thread John Doe
Hi,

I have an old 2.4.2 bacula install peacefully running on a few CentOS 5 servers.
I did use Mr Schwarz rpms at the time.
I recently added a CentOS 6 server that now includes bacula 5.0.0.

The 5.0 bacula-fd does not seem to want to talk to the 2.4 bacula-dir:
I get a "rejected Hello command".

Should I try harder to debug the issue or is that expected behavior and I am 
forced to upgrade all my old servers to 5.0?
If I have to upgrade, is there a page somewhere listing all the changes I will 
bump into (like configuration change, modified sql schemas...) or do I have to 
start from scratch?


In the mean time, I compiled a 2.4.3 to test...


Thx,
JD

This is expected behavior. 3.0.X clients and above will not
communicate with older directors since there was a change in the
protocol.

You do not have to start from scratch. I started out with 1.34 over 8
years ago and I am now using 5.0.3 in production at work and I never
ever started over. There should be update database scripts to update
the schema.

Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula Status + Bacula 5.2.0 release

2011-10-27 Thread Kern Sibbald
Hello,

How we do releases including the numbering system is documented in the 
manual.

Version 5.2.0 is currently in the bacula.org git branch named 
"Branch-5.1", this means
that it has not yet been released.  Thus HEAD is the current 5.2.0 
pending release.  Note
until it is officially released, we may push a few more patches, 
especially if the testing
shows up any problems we can correct.

Once it is released, we will rename Branch-5.1 to be Branch-5.2 and we will
add a Release-5.2.0 tag to the HEAD at release.   Subsequent production 
patches
and new "patch" releases will be in that branch.  Each release will all 
have a tag.

We will also start a new branch that will be called Branch-5.3, which 
will contain
"unstable" development code for the next release.

I don't see any need to change our current numbering system, it has 
worked very well for
quite a long time.

Best regards,

Kern

[Bacula-users] Bacula Status + Bacula 5.2.0 release

Mauro,

> no annunciation on bacula.org website? (5.1.0 too..)
> it seems a dead project from 2010..

Once it is officially out I will put up a message.  5.1.0 is the development 
branch, so there
isn't much to write about.

The project is not at all dead, but item 5 of my email explains why it was a 
bit 
slower than in the past, and why it will hopefully speed up.

> 4. No rpms for version 5.2.0

> what a pity 

I agree, but I am sure the community will step forward.  Three people have 
already
expressed an interest in building rpms.  Hopefully it will all come together ...

That's how open source projects work.

Stuff gets done only because someone wants to do it.
