Hello, I have just released 1.38.6-beta1.patch to the bacula-patches section of the Bacula Source Forge site. This patch can be applied against Bacula 1.38.5 source code to bring it up to the current CVS 1.38 branch. The instructions for applying the patch are at the top of the file.
Since I am not at home, I have not run this code in production, but I have run it through the regression scripts a number of times. I would appreciate feedback from those of you willing to try the code. New features: - For autochanger get Scratch tape if in autochanger if no appendable Volumes are available. - New virtual disk autochanger. See scripts/disk-changer for documentation. - New optional Device resource directive in SD. 'Device Type =', which may have types: File, DVD, Tape, or FIFO. This can be useful for writing DVDs on FreeBSD where Bacula cannot correctly detect the DVD. Major bug fixes: - Fix race condition in multiple-drive autochangers where both drives want the same Volume. - Do not allow opening default catalog for restricted console if it is not in ACL. Minor bug fixes: - See below: Changes to 1.38.6 - Don't open default catalog if not in ACL. - Add virtual disk autochanger code. - Add user supplied bug fix to make two autochangers work correctly using StorageId with InChanger checks. - Correct new/old_jcr confusion in copy_storage(). - Remove & from Job during scan in msgchan.c -- probably trashed the stack. - When getting the next Volume if no Volume in Append mode exists and we are dealing with an Autochanger, search for a Scratch Volume. - Check for missing value in dot commands -- bug fix. - Fix bug in update barcodes command line scanning. - Make sure Pool Max Vols is respected. - Check that user supplied a value before referencing it in restore -- pointed out by Karl Hakimian. - Add Karl Hakimian's table insert code. - Don't ask user to select a specific Volume when updating all volumes in a Pool. - Remove reservation if set for read when removing dcr. - Lock code that requests next appendable volume so that two jobs to get the same Volume at the same time. - Add new Device Type = xxx code. Values are file, tape, dvd, and fifo. - Preserve certain modes (ST_LABEL|ST_APPEND|ST_READ) across a re-open to change read/write permission on a device. - Correct a misplaced double quote in certain autochanger scripts. - Make make_catalog_backup.in a bit more portable. - Implement Karl Hakimian's sql_use_result(), which speeds up restore tree building and reduces the memory load. - Correct a number of minor bugs in getting a Volume from the Scratch Pool. - Implement additional command line options for update Volume. - Don't require user to enter a Volume name when updating all Volumes in a pool.
