Hello all, I have a bacula client (Version: 5.0.2 (28 April 2010) VSS Linux Cross-compile Win32) running on a Windows-XP system. Now it happens that this client somehow has started a job but does not continue and especially does not finish. It does not start new jobs (since it thinks it's old job is running).
Since it does not finish all later jobs that need another Pool Resource are "waiting on Storage File" indefinitely. Actually all my backups are on hold for the last two hours. Restarting the director does not work: On it's next cycle it tries to start the job again, but the client will do nothing and thus all following backups are on hold. Cancelling the job does not help. The director shows the job as not running, but still the following jobs are waiting. Unfortunately the client is a at a remote location, so I cannot access it physically. I have removed the job from the bacula-dir.conf and restarted the director, so temporarily my problems are "solved". However, when I get access to the machine, what should I look at? How can it be? Beyond restarting the service, what can I do to prevent that from ever happening again? Here are the last entries what the director knew from the client: JobId 73925 Job ###.2010-11-24_12.15.00_34 is running. Incremental Backup Job started: 24-Nov-10 12:15 Files=0 Bytes=0 Bytes/sec=0 Errors=0 Files Examined=0 SDReadSeqNo=5 fd=1048 JobId 73998 Job ###.2010-11-24_14.48.44_25 is running. Incremental System or Console Job started: 24-Nov-10 14:48 Files=0 Bytes=0 Bytes/sec=0 Errors=0 Files Examined=0 SDReadSeqNo=3 fd=844 The last Job was started by hand just to test whether the first job really is dead. Both jobs remain at that status indefinately. The bacula-director is "Version: 5.0.3 (04 August 2010) i686-pc-linux-gnu gentoo" running on "2.6.22-vs2.2.0.7-gentoo" Thanks for any help or pointers, Marcus Mülbüsch ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Increase Visibility of Your 3D Game App & Earn a Chance To Win $500!
