Yes, in addition to being a Bacula bug, it is a Kernel bug, and I have filed a bug report, but I don't imagine they will fix it any time soon. Sorry about the inconvenience, and the more than usual delay in reporting this, but I haven't been in the best of form lately (about 2 months now ...). > > Will upgrade and try it out. Thanks. I have just released it to the bacula-beta and Win32-beta sections of Source Forge. Since there are significant changes in the SD reservations system, I suggest you ensure that if there are problems that you can backup to 2.2.7 relatively easily ... Feedback would be appreciated.
