OK, so now that brings up another question which I think another user is
having recently.
How can I get my jobs to not sit in "waiting for max storage jobs" status?
Here is my config is attached.
BTW, I'm having this trouble in 1.36.2 and 1.36.3-pre1
Thanks, Tom

Hello, I have the following Device resource set in bacula-sd.conf:
Device {
Name = "VXAPL"
Media Type = "X23"
Archive Device = "/dev/nst0"
Autochanger = Yes
Changer Device = "/dev/sg1"
Changer Command = "/etc/bacula/mtx-changer %c %o %S %a %d"
Removable Media = Yes
Random Access = No
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20
Always Open = yes
Automatic Mount = yes
Alert Command = "sh -c '/usr/local/sbin/tapeinfo -f %c |grep
TapeAlert|cat'"
Spool Directory = "/var/bacula/spool"
Maximum Job Spool Size = 2000000000
Maximum Spool Size = 15000000000
}
According to the documentation on the web site, which states:
Device Resource
The Device Resource specifies the details of each device (normally a
tape drive) that can be used by the Storage daemon. There may be
multiple Device resources for a single Storage daemon. In general, the
properties specified within the Device resource are specific to the Device.
*Name = /Device-Name/ * Specifies the Name that the Director will
use when asking to backup or restore to or from to this device. This
is the logical Device name, and may be any string up to 127
....
Parallelism
*Maximum Concurrent Jobs = /positive integer/ * The storage daemon
will accept no more than the given *positive integer* of
simultaneous connections. The default is 10. It is best to set this
number fairly large (e.g. 10 or 20) and control how many Jobs are
running with the *Maximum Concurrent Jobs* in the Storage resource
in the Director's configuration file.
I can use Maximum Concurrent Jobs here, but alas I get the following
when trying to start bacula-sd:
Starting the Bacula Storage daemon
20-Apr 20:06 bacula-sd: ERROR TERMINATION at parse_conf.c:821
Config error: Keyword "MaximumConcurrentJobs" not permitted in this
resource.
Perhaps you left the trailing brace off of the previous resource.
: line 65, col 26 of file /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20
Commenting this line out will cause the daemon to start, but my jobs all
(except one) run in status "Waiting for max Storage jobs".
Is this a bug in Bacula, or a problem with the docs?
It was a "bug" (artifact from the original doc) in the manual. I have fixed
it.
Thanks,
Tom
