I have Bacula installed[1] and running, thanks.
That installation gave me some sample configuration files. I got to
writing up my notes as kind of self audit of my install and ...
I'm so confused! I assume that if the same resource is described in
two configuration files, and they both provide a name for that
resource that name should be identical. Otherwise, at minimum, the
reports created using bconsole are going to get confusing.
But the storage daemon's resource, in the examples I got when I
installed, don't follow that rule. In the director deamon's
configuration file it's named "File" (sic), while in the storage
deamon's configuration file it's called "elm-sd."
Presumably there isn't any code to check that the names match.
That's my question? Should names attributes, if given, for a given
resource be identical across configuration files? Or is it a must?
In a related matter this text appears in the bacula-sd.conf.sample file:
...
#
# Devices supported by this Storage Daemon
# To connect, the Directiors'bacula-dir.conf must have the
# same Name and MediaType
#
Device {
Name = FileStorage
Media Type = File
...
Which leads one to think that the storage daemon on the director side
should be named after the device name. Which seems wrong.
Like I said I have it all working, and at this point I've changed the
director's config file to get rid of the storage resource called
"File". I changed it to the name used in the storage daemon's config
file - since that's what feels correct to me. If somebody can point
out where these sample configuration files are in the svn browser I'd
can provide put together some patches.
