If we assume that this is a Windows bug rather than a Bacula bug, I have the following comments: - I've seen this kind of thing *many* times on Win32 machines. Most recently was two days ago when I was cleaning up an older laptop that I was "donating" to a 3rd world country. I wanted to blow away all my files. I did so by creating a new account, loging out of my account, then proceeding to delete my files (after deleting my account). When I got to one particular part of the system (my profile if I remember right), it would not delete the directory complaining that I could not delete NTLDR.dat (or some file such as that). The error message was total nonsense. In the end I succeeded in deleting my file *only* after rebooting and never logging in on my account. What that tells me is that there are conditions in which files are opened, and even if the user goes away, the OS still thinks the file is open (or at least cannot be deleted). - You might try rebooting your machine, and in doing so make sure that no other software runs (by turning it off before rebooting) that could possibly open or touch the file that Bacula wants to truncate. Then see if Bacula can do its thing. - Ensure that you really have installed Bacula as system administrator of the local machine (not as a domain administrator or whatever the term is). The manual explains this for the FD. Now, if we assume that this is a Bacula bug (i.e. something is incorrect in the libraries), it seems to me that this is going to take a bit of work to resolve. The first step would be either manually in the source code or with a debugger, trace exactly what code Bacula is executing when it does the truncate() (actually, I think it does an ftruncate(), which as far as I can tell is defined as chsize(). Once you find where it is getting the error, we can examine the system call and probably figure out how to fix it. I do note that there is a comment in the gcc code that indicates that ftruncate() does not work ... > This will put a complete halt to using bacula in our > environment.
