We have a new Bacula server (2.4.2 on Solaris 10 x86) that runs fine for most backup jobs. However, we've encountered a particular job that hangs indefinitely with the status "Dir inserting attributes". It's important to note that all of our other jobs complete successfully except this one.
Running Jobs: JobId Level Name Status ====================================================================== 90 Full Unix_zimbra.2008-11-10_15.26.10 Dir inserting Attributes ==== This particular job is for our Zimbra server (2.4.3 on Linux x86_64). The job is predictably large (275GB, 15M files). I asked our PostgreSQL DBA to review the database and he found a hung statement (backslashes are mine): INSERT INTO File (FileIndex, JobId, PathId, FilenameId, LStat, \ MD5)SELECT batch.FileIndex, batch.JobId, Path.PathId, \ Filename.FilenameId,batch.LStat, batch.MD5 FROM batch JOIN Path ON \ (batch.Path = Path.Path) JOIN Filename ON (batch.Name = Filename.Name) At this point, other jobs (except Catalog Backup) will continue to run and complete successfully. But to get the Catalog Backup running, I have to cancel the zimbra job, restart bacula-dir, and kick off the Catalog Backup job. Otherwise, the Catalog jobs will just sit there waiting to execute. I've let these jobs sit for days in this state, so it's not like I'm being impatient. :) One other note. If the DBA kills that query in the database, the job completes. Although the director reports an Error, it updates the catalog successfully. If I cancel the job inside bconsole, nothing else gets updated in the catalog, presumably due to a database lock. The first job below (jobid 90) was one I cancelled; the next (jobid 104) was where the database query was killed. *llist jobid=90 No results to list. *llist jobid=104 jobid: 104 job: Unix_zimbra.2008-11-11_11.19.05 name: Unix_zimbra purgedfiles: 0 type: B level: F clientid: 2 name: zimbra jobstatus: f schedtime: 2008-11-11 11:19:29 starttime: 2008-11-11 11:19:33 endtime: 2008-11-11 17:10:42 realendtime: 2008-11-11 17:10:42 jobtdate: 1,226,441,442 volsessionid: 16 volsessiontime: 1,226,346,967 jobfiles: 15,020,757 joberrors: 1 jobmissingfiles: 0 poolid: 1 poolname: Default priorjobid: 0 filesetid: 2 fileset: Zimbra Set Any ideas?
