Hi,

If anyone besides Phil was following this I found the problem, thought
I'd post it up. It was not a bacula problem but, someone may run in to
this at some point:
-My backups all go to file storage on a remote storage server
-I auto mount (via fstab) the storage server to /mnt/<server>
-I moved the server the other day to a rack in another data center:
forgot to plug the network cable in when I powered the machine, realized
it a few minutes later and plugged it in...no problem
-Fast forward:.:"OK" e-mails come in every night from the backup server
-Last night I got the fatal error
-Today I see the "/" filesystem is full
-Begin sending dumb messages to the bacula board
Anyone have the answer yet?
Yes.
Tried it myself.
When I moved the machine and booted it
without the network cable it never mounted the remote storage server
/mnt/<server>. Today, in troubleshooting, I restarted the machine,
which, upon coming up, mounted the remote server.
But I solved this with thinking :-P
So, the last few days
the server has been backing up to itself in the /mnt directory. I didn't
realize it because I had re-mounted the remote server. I unmounted the
remote and found, big surprise, about 40G of backup data.
One more Sysadmin 101 problem solved. Now I have to find my brain...
;-)
Anyway, nice to inform us. Your initial post made me curious about the
amount of data you were backing up, but by now I understand that you've
not yet reached dozens of millions of billions of files...
