The only problem that I am aware of had to do with a read setting and EOT
condition making Bacula think there were no more files on the tape when
subsequently put into append mode. This *was* fixed in 1.36.2.
From the 1.36.3 ChangeLog:
17Mar05 1.36.2-restore-speed.patch
- This patch will fix a subtle bug that was introduced in 1.36.2
which causes Bacula to be very slow restoring a few files. This
is because it reads completely to the end of the Volume rather
than stopping when all the files on the Volume are loaded. The
introduction of the bug was caused by a patch that fixed
Bacula truncating tapes after a restore.
Note that all source files will be rebuilt during the make.
From the 1.36.2 ChangeLog:
15Feb05
- Fix deadlock in multiple simultaneous jobs.
- Fix tape "truncation"/"number of files" after restore bug. <=======
- Merge a few minor things from the 1.37 stream.
Concerning aborting, I believe I modified 1.36.2 to write back the Media
record even if the SD aborts. This works 99% of the time, but every once and
a while if there is a mutex set when a signal is generated, it will not
succeed.
