Anyway, I would really appreciate it if you could try the 1.38.3 beta. Please use the released tar file rather than the CVS -- the HEAD CVS is now slightly behind the 1.38 branch in terms of fixes ...


I'll download it in a few minutes...

Although I haven't been able to reproduce the pool problems you are having, I have been working on it nevertheless. When I was able to duplicate the two drive problem of not running jobs simultaneously on both drives, I took the time to review the reservation system in detail, and I found a few places where there *may* have been problems.


I should see if the version 1.38.3beta fixes my problem on Tuesday - that's still my jobs-to-different-pools-day. I'll report what happens. And, of course, I've got one run of straight and usual backups before that, although I don't think there will be any problems tomorrow.

Unfortunately, I have to report something rather unexpected. The device reservation system works a little too good ;-)

I started my bachup server this morning (or rather, it started itself). All tape drives Bacula itself loads were empty, magazines were filled with the correct volumes. Basically, the same situation I have 5 out of seven days for about a year now, with many versions of Bacula.

Jobs were scheduled as usual and got triggered as usual, too.

After that, not much progress since this morning, 8:20 (almost 12 hours ago):

these are the latest messages.

Or, in other words, since I upgraded to 1.38.3 beta, nothing has been backed up at all.

The last job mentioned failed because the run before script I use found the host to be down and exited with a non-zero status. This is expected and usual behaviour in case of the windows workstations I back up.

In Use Volume status:
QIC-525-0046 on device "Wangtek 6525" (/dev/nst0)
====

In other words, the SD seems to be sure it doesn't have to do anything.

This morning, when I noticed that behaviour, I used mtx to load a tape into drive HPDAT and issued the proper mount command. I do the same now:

#mount HPDAT
3905 Device "HP DAT 0" (/dev/nst1) open but no Bacula volume is mounted.
If this is not a blank tape, try unmounting and remounting the Volume.
#

This is hardly true - that same tape was ok up till yesterday. Apart from that, the SD doesn't even try to read the tape:

goblin:~ # tapeinfo -f /dev/sg4
Product Type: Tape Drive
Vendor ID: 'HP      '
Product ID: 'C1553A          '
Revision: '9503'
Attached Changer: No
MinBlock:1
MaxBlock:16777215
SCSI ID: 5
SCSI LUN: 0
Ready: yes
BufferedMode: yes
Medium Type: Not Loaded
Density Code: 0x24
BlockSize: 0
DataCompEnabled: yes
DataCompCapable: yes
DataDeCompEnabled: yes
CompType: 0x20
DeCompType: 0x0
BOP: yes
Block Position: 0
goblin:~ #

Or, in other words, the tape which is loaded is still at BOT which indicates that the SD didn't actually try to read it.

The debug log is filled with many thousand lines mostly created by reserve.c in case of the mount command.

Any clues?

Arno


Also, if your problem originated from failed jobs where the Dir was unable to contact a client, then it was most likely related to bug # 508, which is now fixed.


No, I don't think that's the problem.

Oh, yes, I have now corrected the documentation for 1.38.3 for the Maximum Changer Wait specification.


Great. Thanks.

Arno
