Hello all. I'm 99% positive either I'm doing the configuration wrong - but
I've read the manual and archives (maybe missing the answer) and have no clue
as to what is going on...
I have the following setup - One machine running bacula-dir and bacula-sd
(named backup1), another machine running bacula-sd (named backup2). I am using
file storage on both.
On both are 3ware cards with disks that are allocated to the directory that
holds the backup file storage (/bacula-nn). My plan was to use a pool, and
have bacula send the jobs to them as determined by the director.
Well, everything *sort of* works. The problems I've encountered are as follows:
When backup1's disk space fills up, bconsole becomes practically unusable, as
it slows down severely. During this time I see a lot of these messages:
19-Mar 15:54 backup1.mydomain.com: ERROR in authenticate.c:382 Unable to
authenticate console "*UserAgent*" at client:172.16.0.134:36131.
Also, during the slowdown, mysqld is being hit extremely hard.
Now, if I switch the order of the "Storage" lines in the "Pool" section, and
restart the director, bconsole becomes snappy again, and backups to the pool go
to backup2. Mysqld is not taxed at all after the order is switched
Does any one have any idea on this? Below are the relevant configuration
sections. I'm currently trying to restore a file from the 'backup1' server
(its disks are full), and it is being extremely slooooow. :)
Backup1 - /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf:
Storage {
Name = "backup1 - File"
Address = backup1.mydomain.com
SDPort = 9103
Password = "password"
Device = FileStorage
Media Type = File
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 3
}
Storage {
Name = "backup2 - File"
Address = backup2.mydomain.com
SDPort = 9103
Password = "password"
Device = FileStorage2
Media Type = File2
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 3
}
Pool {
Name = "File Storage"
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Retention = 365 days # one year
Storage = "backup1 - File"
Storage = "backup2 - File"
}
Backup1 - /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf:
Device {
Name = FileStorage
Media Type = File
Archive Device = /bacula-01
LabelMedia = yes; # lets Bacula label unlabeled media
Random Access = Yes;
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
RemovableMedia = no;
AlwaysOpen = no;
}
Backup2 - /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf:
Device {
Name = FileStorage2
Media Type = File2
Archive Device = /bacula-02
LabelMedia = yes; # lets Bacula label unlabeled media
Random Access = Yes;
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
RemovableMedia = no;
AlwaysOpen = no;
}
