Yes, I use MaxStartDelay to automatically cancel jobs that are no more in time, so that I'm sure that Bacula is ready for the new job of the next night.
Probably you're right about it: MaxStartDelay is causing cancel of jobs. The reason is that now I discovered that jobs are VERY slow during the night (1000Kb/s), compared to how they run if I schedule them during the day (8000Kb/s). This is causing a too long backup and causing the cancel of jobs.
What is strange is: why is not Bacula sending me reports about this canceled jobs?
When, for example, I put a wrong tape, I get a lot of "Intervention needed", followed by a final list of "Canceled" reports, when the MaxStartDelay has been reached.
Why not in this case?

I would start by checking the units of your MaxStartDelay value, just in case
it is causing cancellation.
Did the time taken by the wserver job change much on the day the iserver was
first missing (presumably Aug 19) compared to Aug 18?
