Sound like something to do with the port forwarding to me. From shell on client1 or client2 can you telnet to client3 on port 9103? If not something screwey is going on with your port forwarding. You could alwas turn on strace....

Client 3 also trippled as director and storage. Like this: [CLIENT1]--+ +--[INTERNET]--[CLIENT3/DIR/STORAGE] [CLIENT2]--+ Client 1 and client 2 are Slackware Linux and client 3 is FreeBSD. Because I ren out of diskspace I moved the storage to another (4th machine; also FreeBSD). I also (stupid I know) upgraded from 2.2.4 to 2.2.5: [CLIENT1]--+ +--[INTERNET]--[CLIENT3/DIR]--[STORAGE] [CLIENT2]--+ Bacause I've only one public IP address I also installed portfwd on client 3 to forward 9103 from client 3 to storage. Sofar so good. As a first test I backup'd client 3. This worked.! Then I tried to backup client 1 and it stopped half way on /dev/cciss/c0...something.... Second attempt it stopped one another file. etc. So I tried the client 2. Same result. Long story short; I can reproduce the hanging when I run a backup of the remote clients (1 or 2) and then type "status storage" in bconsole. Like this: *run A job name must be specified. The defined Job resources are: 1: client1-job 2: client2-job 3: client3-job 4: BackupCatalog 5: RestoreFiles Select Job resource (1-5): 3 Run Backup job JobName: client2-job Level: Incremental Client: client2-fd FileSet: client2 Set Pool: Default (From Job resource) Storage: File (From Job resource) When: 2007-10-30 13:24:01 Priority: 15 OK to run? (yes/mod/no): yes Job queued. JobId=16 Note the "messages" here show me that the backup is starting. Also I can see it status running in te jobs list; as soon as I type: *status storage Automatically selected Storage: File Connecting to Storage daemon File at client3:9103 it hangs and and doesn't return to the * prompt. The "bacula-fd -f -d100 -c <config>" and "bacula-sd -f -d100 -c <config>" show output until the "status restore". The only way to get the prompt back is by killing the bacula-sd. Any insights are welcome about what can cause this. J. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
