Hi!
FYIO: (Still) running bacula 1.38.11, I've found an interesting effect
last night. On a system with 35 GB disk space, running SuSE Linux 10.1,
Bacula tried to save a some-TB job. The backup was canceled after 1.2 TB
were written to the SD due to the MaxRunTime directive. I don't know if
it had terminated else as long as tape medias were available...
The cause is simple: there was an error in the ext3 filesystem. There
was an inode claimed to be some TB big. fsck recognized that when I
search for the cause. But bacula-fd can't, obviously. Before correction
with fsck, the effect was reproducible, i.e. the next backup job would
have run in the same way.
Fortunately, the virtual mega-file consisted of only few different bytes
(or of one byte only). Thus, the hardware compression of my tape drive
filled that 1.2 TB in short tape space.
Best,
Robert
