Hi all,

I've been chasing this one for a while, trying to be sure.  It seems that:

IF
- Bacula is configured with separate pools for incremental and full backups,

AND
- an upgraded incremental fails (e.g. client host offline),

THEN
- the SD gets stuck "waiting to reserve a device".


This is with 1.37.38, but don't see anything in the ChangeLog to indicate that it might be fixed.

I have seen this problem on at least two installations, one with incrementals to disk and full backups to tape, and another with both going to disk files.

I can confirm that reverting to a single pool, at least where incremental and full media are the same type, evades the problem.

Does this ring any bells for anyone? Any ideas where I might start looking in the code to fix it?

Thanks,
