I am running CentOS 4.5 x64 with self compiled kernel 2.6.13.4. I have installed the latest bacula 2.2.4 Director, Client, and Storage daemon on this server.
Bacula run flawlessly most of the time. Unfortunately when I run VMWare Workstation and have a virtual machine running, Bacula crashes the entire system. I am running the latest version of the 5.x series of VMWare. I am also running fluxbox as my Window Manager, although I don't think that has anything to do with the problem. This problem has existed with all versions of Bacula starting with 1.3.8.11 which is the first version I installed. My backups are to an external USB disk connected to the Host OS. The virtual machine is not configured with USB port because at one time I thought there might be contention between the Physical USB disk and the USB port configured with the Virtual Machine. All virtual machines and host system work fine when bacula backups are not running. I have tested this with all sorts of guest Virtual Machines and the results are the same; bacula will crash (completely unusable) the host machine. The only recovery method it to reboot the server. Is anyone else successfully running a similar environment? As bacula is the only program that appears to cause the problem I am making an assumption it is a problem with bacula. If anyone has this type of environment working successfully I would like to hear about it. Thanks. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
