Hi Phil, I have to amend my previous comment.
After showing you what the "status dir" output shows for a job where the FD's
MCJ was the limiting factor, when the job finally failed (after default 10
mins for the SD to wait on the FD), this is what the log showed:
8<
07-Aug 22:02 bacula-dir JobId 15737: Fatal error: Unable to authenticate with
File daemon at "client-fd.example.com:9102". Possible causes:
Passwords or names not the same or
Maximum Concurrent Jobs exceeded on the FD or
FD networking messed up (restart daemon).
For help, please see:
http://www.bacula.org/rel-manual/en/problems/Bacula_Frequently_Asked_Que.html
07-Aug 22:02 bacula-dir JobId 15737: Fatal error: Network error with FD during
Backup: ERR=Interrupted system call
8<
Notice that one of the possible reasons given for this failed job is:
"Maximum Concurrent Jobs exceeded on the FD"
Which in my test case was the actual cause.
Best regards,
Bill

Hi Phil,
Yes, as a matter of fact, there is a MaximumConcurrentJobs (MCJ) setting for
the Client resource in the Director's configuration. The default is '1'.
Whenever there is a possible question about MCJ, you can just do a "status
dir" in bconsole when jobs that you expect to be running are instead "Waiting
for ${something}"
In your case, I would suspect that the message for this (waiting) job would be
something like:
"...is waiting for maximum Client jobs"
Telling us that the Director's Client resource for this client needs to be
increased.
I just did a quick test to see the message when the FD's MCJ was the limiting
factor, and in this case, the message would be like:
"...is waiting for Client x-fd to connect to Storage yy"
Of course this one can be misleading in the case where there is a network
problem or some other thing preventing the FD from contacting the SD. If the
job finally fails due to this, the joblog will (might?) have some better clues
as to the real cause.
Best regards,
Bill

[Bacula-users] Concurrency - did I forget something?
A new client recently first added with 9.0.2 seems to have its maximum
job concurrency set to 1 despite explicitly setting it to 20:
FileDaemon {
Name = asgard-fd
FDport = 9102
WorkingDirectory = /opt/bacula/var
Pid Directory = /var/run
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20
Plugin Directory = /opt/bacula/lib
}
Did I forget somewhere I need to set that? The Client resource in
bacula-dir.conf doesn't need a Maximum Concurrent Jobs directive ...
does it?
