I've just recently been playing with bacula (2.0.3 in self-compiled
rpms on fedora)...
I have it working with DVDs and the situation in question as I can
tell went like this:
- it was backing up the main system.
- I believe it tried to store the information in: BaculaDVD0009.8.
- However, the disc doesn't actually contain that part, but the log
shows success:
12-Jun 23:05 machine-sd: Ready to append to end of Volume "BaculaDVD0009"
part=8 size=3040970041
12-Jun 23:05 machine-sd: Job write elapsed time = 00:00:04, Transfer rate =
57.92 K bytes/second
12-Jun 23:05 machine-sd: Part 8 (233000 bytes) written to DVD.
So the questions I have that I can't seem to answer via manuals nor
via bconsoles interface is:
1) what happened... I doubt anyone can answer this.
the disc is not full yet and mounting it shows about 3G in use:
/dev/hda 2972194 2972194 0 100% /mnt/cdrom
and the missing part was very small:
FD Bytes Written: 228,657 (228.6 KB)
SD Bytes Written: 231,716 (231.7 KB)
2) what to do about it? Choices are, I think:
2a) invalidate the whole volume
2b) somehow tell bacula that just that part is missing and to rewrite
just that part... I can't find anywhere that the part number is
actually stored though. I did a quick search of even the DB
tables and came up blank. I don't believe this is user-editable
data (which is fine).
3) how do I prevent this in the future? Doubt anyone can answer this
either, since it would require answering (1) above.
(I turned on tracing on the sd to figure out this problem and it
finally pointed out that the next backup was failing because it tried
to mount the disc and couldn't find BaculaDVD0009.8... I didn't have
tracing on during the failure time though unfortunately)
