I have been running bacula Version: 1.38.8 (compiled from source) for a few months now. I am running CentOS 4.3 on an x86_64 platform.
I am backing up to disk (external USB storage). This has been running fine for the past few months. This week the system has crashed hard (no kernel panic) 2 times. I can not find anything of value in any of the system logs. It is a complete hang of the system. I am running VMware Workstation on this server. The reason I mention this is because the only significant change to the system this week is that more VM instances have been running on the server this week. All day long the Virtual Machines and the physical system plays nicely with one another. Then, within 2 minutes of seeing this bacula message Volume "INCR-0003" previously written, moving to end of data, the system hangs. The above message is seen write after the script defined in the RunBeforeJob (for the physical system) directive is run (and completed successfully). It is a presumed 2 minutes because that is the time from the above message to the last message written to the /var/log/messages file. I can not find any other jobs running at that time then would be any different then the jobs running throughout the day. Anyone have any suggestions on things I could tune that would prevent the system from crashing? My bacula configurations are not all that complex or strange. Anyone else seen this type of behavior?
