Hello,
I was able to ./configure Bacula 1.38.11 on a Mac running Mac OS X
10.4.8without any problems today (in a manner almost exactly the same
as my Ubuntu
Linux configuration). In both cases, I did not explicitly provide configure
with the option of disabling large file support, and I also did not
explicitly provide configure with he option of enabling large file system
support (but according to the current manual, --enable-largefile is the
default).
Despite accepting the default (enabled), I noticed that my output was
different after running configure. On the Mac, configure reported a value of
"no" assigned as in:
Large file support: no
On Ubuntu the value for "Large File Support:" was "yes".
Furthermore, when I tried to re-configure on Mac OS X (being sure to run
configure a second time after a "make distclean" to clear any configure
cache), I then explicitly added this configure option:
--enable-largefile
But the end result was the same:
Large file support: no
What should I do? I will most definitely need to back up and restore files
that are in excess of 2 GB in size.
In Bacula, is Large File Support limited to certain file systems or
operating systems? The Mac I tried configuring for is one of the quite new
Intel iMacs (with Intel Core 2 Dueo "Merom" chip inside and apparently Merom
is a 64-bit chip and apparently Mac OS X 10.4.x "Tiger" has some 64-bit
capability but I'm not clear on exactly where the lines are drawn between
32-bit and 64-bit in Tiger and on these new iMacs). Would CPU architecture
in any way affect the outcome of Bacula?
Might I be in new territory if I am understanding this [1] document about
Large File System support correctly. Any further suggestions or comparisons
(Erich?) from people who are running Bacula on Mac OS X (Apple Intel and
PowerPC)?
Cheers,
-H
