I used the precompiled win32 version. > > Kern Hopefully this was the problem. I later found a process was holding one (and only 1) of the tape files open (but not the one with the error as a few had errors). Bacula had several files marked for recycle but couldn't recycle any of them. Can you truncate a file if another process is reading from it? Presumably not since that is what an AV program might do and why you recommended to exclude bacula. I haven't run into the problem since and I can't recreate it so it seems it was a library incompatibility. If you aren't running a production install I would download MinGW from their homepage http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/MinGW-3.1.0-1.exe?download and see if that fixes your problem. I wouldnt dare replace the library on a production server though since that could cause tons of other unforseen problems. It's worked for me so far though. I will try a few more tests later tonight going back to the old library and switching in between them and let you know what happens. -- Thanks, Eric Bambach Systems Manager Northern Star Suite 130 Campus Life Bldg.
