Hi, I need to do a very large restore - the filesystem in question is 1TB & it was about 80% full last I looked.
When I use bacula-console, and ask for a restore of the last backup from this client, it generates the initial long list of jobs, starts to build the file list, and then hangs (after about 10 of the + marks). Could this be caused by the machine on which Bacula is running being unable to cope with the load of database requests? (The database itself is on another machine, which seems OK; I'm backing up to an autochanger.) Should I just try leaving it even longer? It seems to move at a slow but perceptible speed briefly, then stops. top shows bacula-dir as using 95%+ of CPU & 90%+ of memory; previously when I've tried this I've also seen "defunct" bacula-dir processes appearing in the process list. I've restored to this filesystem from Bacula before, but it wasn't so full then (& the Bacula 'server' machine wasn't so old!). Any thoughts/suggestions on how I can get this data back? I have also tried bls -V ABK708L "Overland 2000" to see if I can get a manual listing of the relevant tape (barcode label ABK708L), but that takes a long time & then fails saying "/dev/st0 in use". Any thoughts on that? I'm running 1.36.2 on Debian sarge (I'm aware it's old but it's also what's available in sarge!).
