Hi All- I've been using Bacula in a beta capacity for the past 6 months. I'm backing up now about 30 clients - mostly Solaris and Linux clients, with a few Windows/Mac OS X thrown in there. I've been quite happy except for one problem which I have had continually come back and haunt me.
It seems that the MySQL File table is particularly susceptible to corruption when a new client is backed up (Full) for the first time - I assume because of the huge number of inserts - or maybe there is some sort of concurrency issue, as I do run multiple jobs simultaneously. An excerpt of the errors logged to the director are below.. Repairing the table through the MySQL console fixes the problem, but not the cause, as it always reappears. I'm currently running the director/sd 1.36.2-1 on Debian Sarge, with the MySQL backend (4.0.23_Debian-4-log). I'm doing backups to disk, not tape. The MySQL File table is currently about 721MB so I don't believe I'm running into any tablesize limits which I have found mention of in the archives. I've searched bugs.bacula.org and the gmane list archives and don't find much mention of this problem.. it's also not 100% reproducible which makes it especially frustrating. Can anyone shed any light on it or offer any potential solutions? Is it worth it to try switching to the PostgreSQL backend?
