Well, I'm on Debian here so the process would be a bit different. Looking at the package descriptions for libmysql would tell you. You may also be able to tell by looking at /usr/lib/libmsqlclient*. The thread-safe versions on my system have names like libmysqlclient_r.so.10.0.0 where the "_r" stands for reentrant. You could then check that bacula-dir is linked against the "_r" versions using: $ ldd `which bacula-dir` > What exactly do you mean with large tables?

Agreed, "large" is a relative term. I have tweaked the retention periods a bit and we are now far below that number. In fact, it was during the purging and pruning that I was seeing the director block on database operations. > Thank you for your response! No problem.
