Hi, The system and db logs doesn't tell me anything about this problem, like all the director processes or thread are locked concurrently. If I restart only bacula-dir without restarting bacula-sd and 16 bacula-fd the system restart working fine. Now I have already restarted bacula-dir and all works fine (I backup 16 servers, I cannot take it in offline mode or someone kill me this evening), so I'm not able to reproduce the error until about 10-15 days. Last time that I'd got this problem I used top and I didn't find anything strange. But the test with time command will be the first when It will rehappen. I don't think that the problem is with database, when I connect to database with mysql command line to db bacula it works fine and quickly. One thing: I've setted for most of my fd 14 days for file and job retention. One o two fd are setted to 7 days for both file and job retention. The volume retention period is always setted to 14 days.
I've got sufficient disk space to use only one pool for 7 and 14 days retention client backup. Another thing is the maximum concurrent jobs : On director = 30 On storage side director configuration file = 60 On storage = 60 Can this parameters gives me this problem? These are the only parameters that I'm not sure to have understood where i've read the manual. The others i think are correctly configured.
