The good news is that I have now build and tested Bacula version 7.4.1 with the patch for getting Bacula to properly link with MySQL 5.7 on Ubuntu 16.04, and it does work.
The bad news is that the "out of the box" MySQL performs very badly to the point of being unusable with Bacula -- it is clearly trashing the disk and runs Bacula jobs 10-15 times slower than on previous MySQL versions. I suspect that someone has by default turned on a sync/flush after every MySQL update. Prior MySQL releases by Ubuntu were relatively efficient. Out of the box they were between 10-20% slower than a slightly tuned PostgreSQL. Now it is 10-15 times slower than an untuned PostgreSQL out of the box on the same computer. Please let me know if I should open a new ticket on this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1570923 Title: bacula-dir won't start with "undefined symbol: mysql_init" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bacula/+bug/1570923/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
