Greetings all, I've researched this problem online and in the Bacula bug queue and I've not found anything so I'm posting to the mailing list.
I'm trying to get the Bacula bare metal restoration system working. I've gotten cd's, statically compiled bacula-fd's installed and two different rescue cd's (for two different machines) booting (a Dell 1750 and a VMware Server based virtual machine). The OS is CentOS 4.3. When I get to the point when I need to execute the chroot /mnt/disk /tmp/bacula-fd -c /tmp/bacula-fd.conf command, the daemon does not start. The only feedback I can figure out is via strace which shows that right after bacula-fd tries to fork, the fork fails. Strace output looks like this: fork() = <pid> ---- SIGCHLD (Child exited) @ 0 (0) --- sigreturn() = ? (mask now [RTMIN]) exit_group(0) Process <original pid> detached I can start the statically linked bacula-fd daemon just fine if I do not use the chroot command in front of it. When I do this the fork() works normally. I get the same behavior under both the physical Dell machine and the VMware machine. The kernel on both machines is the same, 2.6.9-34.0.1.ELsmp. If anyone has any advice I'd be much appreciated. Best Regards, Jonathan Claybaugh ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
