Hi,
using Bacula Version: 1.38.11 (28 June 2006) this happens:
A.. While a backup job is running, the FD terminates accidentially
(process kill, power off machine etc.)
The backup job is canceled by bacula (error mail is sent etc.)
! The volume file count is wrong after that --with a difference of 1.
The next job, waiting for a writable volume in the same pool,
is scheduled and marks the volume (tape) with Error.
B.. A backup job reaches MaxRunTime. Bacula decides to cancel the job,
that's ok. Again, the file count isn't updated right. That's not ok.
The result is the same as in A..: file count mismatch, Error state,
when the next job tries to write on the volume.
My question: Why is there a file count mismatch? Consider case B.., which
I think is a heavy thing: The complete Cancel operation is under the control
of Bacula, it's a Cancel from within the system! It should be easy for
Bacula to enter the correct file count in the database...?!
Although in case A.., where the interrupt comes from outside. The SD, after
losing the connection to FD, should be able to tell the DIR the correct file
count it has written to storage, and the DIR should be able to update the
count in the database.
So, it's a bug, isn't it? Any help with that?
Actually, I use to correct file counts manually using bconsole. That's
a boring thing, because the volumes with wrong file counts are still
in status "Append", as long as no further job fails on them. Thus, I've
to check all "Cancel"-mails every morning for the exact reason.
Gruezi and thanks,
Robert
