Amongst many other clients, i backup my workstation using bacula (in this case 3.0.3, but i've been seeing this since i started using bacula with version 2.2 something).
I can see the job for my client in the director, it is in the status "Waiting for client XXX to connect to storage YYY", and it has been in that status since i turned it off (around 13 hours ago). I am unable to cancel the job, because it is not running or scheduled and none of the other jobs on the director were able to start, they are all "waiting for execution" and older jobs have been canceled (thanks for fixing the canceled email notification with 3.0.3 btw) which means that, on this director, i have not had nightly backups run on any of my clients, on any of my SDs because a single client got turned off inbetween the director initializing the job and the client making the connection to the SD. I've been seeing this behavior, as i said, for a really long time now, and it has caused me enough grief to set up a second director / SDs and even two FDs per client. A single client, lets say a broken one, one being turned off or a malicious one, can bring a whole director to a halt. Is there some magic timeout value that is set to a (useless) default value that i am missing, or is it rather non concurrent connection creation that is blocking all my other jobs? I can leave the director in this state for a couple hours to perform magic incantations (stacktrace, backtrace etc) if you want any information about this issue. Ill attach the btraceback right away, also the last log lines.. but since i am not running this director for testing, it isnt running under any debug levels. After reviewing the bconsole output to make it postable, it seems that some jobs did run after 18:03 (the time i turned off my workstation), the last job ran (to a different SD than the one that blocked) at 02:30, after that, no new jobs, even to different SDs, could start. I really appreciate the work you guys are doing on bacula and i would love it if someone would take a look at this.
