I am now running bacula 2.2.6 built from source RPMs. Now I had a crash with no VMware running. I did not even have an Xsession running. This is two times in two weeks where the system crashes while bacula is running. The crash completely shuts the machine off. It is not just in a hung state. There is really nothing in the system logs except that the database backup job that runs before the backup is kicked off and is run successfully. After that, there is nothing in the logs. This is the first time this has happened when a VmWare guest OS was not running. Prior to the past two weeks, backups were running fine for about 29 days. This is a very random as far a when the crash occurs, but constant problem. I don't believe I am running an abnormal server configuration, but this Hard crash is very annoying. Anyone have anymore hints or suggestions to try? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
