Well, I received no messages at all. So it is a little hard to give more
information, but I guess the assumption that the messages were lost
because the message spool file could not be written to is reasonable in
this situation.
I don't plan to spend any time, with
perhaps some time for more documentation, building a fail safe operating
system if you over fill your working directory.
In fact I didn't expect you to improve the OS - but still I think that
there could be an improvement in bacula. Probably the SD has some
threshold when deciding if there is spool space left, and something like
checking if there are some MB left might be helpful in such a situation.
If I am not mistaken, the
document warns you that you must have a reasonable space available in the
working directory. Concerning spooling, I give you the tools to put the
spool directory in a place other than your working directory, and I give you
the tools to limit the amount of spool space used. Beyond that, as long as
Bacula produces reasonable error messages, it is up to you to manage things.
Quite right.
If you think this is not a correct attitude on my part, then simply fill up
your tmp directory and or your root and see how many jobs your OS holds for
rescheduling ... :-) Another good one to try is delete /dev/null, then
re-create it with "touch /dev/null" and see how well your OS runs ...
I can accept your attitude, but think it is useful if such things are
reported... if you decide that this is not something bacula itself needs
to handle that's ok for me.
