Hello,
today, I think I found a problem with baculas handling of disk space.
The situation:
I use spooling, and had one large job running overnight. The spool space
is not big enough to hold the complete job, so the job is run in slices:
spool until disk is full, despool, repeat until done.
The spool directory and baculas working directory are on the same partition.
When the regular backup jobs for today were about to start that
partition was full.
The result: The scheduled jobs didn't run, are marked with status
"Error" and I received an error email without any contents. Nothing in
the console log as well.
I assume that the log messages could not be created because the disk
space wasn't available, the same with the information mails.
I also assume that the jobs were not run because they couldn't create
their spool files. In 'status dir' I have entries like this:
Terminated Jobs:
JobId Level Files Bytes Status Finished Name
========================================================================
...
2610 Full 5 113,578 Error 07-Jul-05 08:37 BackupMail
While I can understand that behaviour, I'd like to know three things:
First, has anybody else encountered this behaviour?
Second, are my assumptions correct?
Third, shouldn't this behaviour be changed? One solution would be to
hold a job when there's not enough spool space when it's started, I'd say.
And

Spool space is on a LVM partition across several SCSI disks, no SCSI or
filesystem errors according to the system log. And I know that more
spool space _is_ desirable...
